A commandline file manager, with FTP access.
Particularly easy to use and featureful. I consider this an essential tool, but usually forget it exists.

I had a note that said Midnight Commander is also available on Windows via Git on Windows. However, that appears to not be true.
- I also can't figure out where I got midnight commander from. I uninstalled it, and now I have no bookmark or file saved. Fuck.
- It never had
mcedit
, which sucks. - I started using Babun anyway, so I don't care any more.

Very good, and about the only hope for doing certain CLI things with over-full directories.
I see no way to connect to an SFTP site. I need to read various obscure man pages. Maybe it's this?:
cd /#sftp:[email protected]
