Total Commander
File manager for Windows 3.1 through 11
Total Commander is a file manager for Windows, covering file browsing, copying, searching, and network access in one interface. It presents two file windows side by side and supports tabs, thumbnails, custom columns, a quick file filter, and a Quick View panel for images and video. It handles Unicode and long file names, and includes a password manager for FTP and plugins.
Archive handling covers ZIP, 7ZIP, ARJ, LZH, RAR, UC2, TAR, GZ, CAB, and ACE, with plugins for additional formats. The built-in FTP client supports FTPS (encrypted FTP) and HTTP proxy. Other tools include a multi-rename tool with regular expressions, file comparison with an editor, directory synchronization (including empty directories), logging, and an enhanced overwrite dialog. It runs on Windows 3.1 through 11 in 32-bit and 64-bit builds, with multiple languages, a USB installer, and a 64-bit context menu.
The product is aimed at users who manage files locally and over FTP, including those working with archives and large directory trees. It is distributed as shareware; the site provides a download, an order page, and an FAQ and support section.
