The Midnight Commander is a file manager for the Unix/Linux command line. If you log in to your web space/web server via SSH, you can perform file operations directly on the server with the Midnight Commander.
Part 1 - Introduction & Overview
This first video gives a short introduction and shows an overview of the program interface.
Select file/directory: Insert key (Windows) or ctrl + t (Mac) or right mouse button
Select groups: + (e.g. *.txt for all txt files)
Select all files: Shift + '+'
Invert selection: *
Remove selection: -
Edit symlinks: ctrl + x + s, or under Windows Ctrl + x + s
Part 3 - Editing and creating files
You can edit existing files directly in Midnight Commander and of course also create new files. However, there are a few points to bear in mind, especially when copying and pasting text into the editor.
Create a new file and edit it directly in the editor: mcedit filename.txt
Part 4 - Transferring files between two servers
You can also use Midnight Commander to establish an FTP connection to an external server. This can be useful, for example, if there is no SSH access for the external server and you want to transfer files to another server.
