interesting mac-take on the total commander paradigm, with intuitive integration

features left to be desired:

  • multi-rename
  • folder synchronization
  • file viewer/editor (it uses macs quick-view),
  • plugins...

it's actively maintained so i'd expect to see more features soon

What is MaxCommander?

Manage your files the way you always do, using two panels and the keyboard (and sometimes the mouse). Introducing the MaxCommander.

MaxCommander is all you need to manage files on your local drives and remote file servers. The app supports the following operations:

  • Browsing folders
  • Previewing files with QuickLook
  • Editing files
  • Copying, moving, deleting, renaming files and folders
  • Creating folders
  • Creating links
  • Packing and unpacking archives
  • Searching for files

You can browse and manage the content of an archive as it was a folder on a local drive. You can browse, create, modify, and unpack archives of these types:

  • zip
  • 7z
  • tar
  • wim

You can browse, create, and unpack these archive types:

  • tar.gz, tar.Z, tar.bz2, tar.xz, tgz, taz, tbz2, txz
  • gz, bz2, xz, Z
  • xar, iso

These archives are supported for browsing and unpacking:

  • rar, arj, lha, lzh, cpio, rpm, cab, z, lzma, adz, udf, jar
  • vdi, vmdk, vhd, msi, hfs, fat, sfs, wim, chm

Encrypted 7z, zip, and rar archives are also supported.

If you have an archive file created on an operating system that does not use Unicode you can open it in MaxCommander and select the right characters encoding for file names (available for arj, lha/lzh, zip, rar, and tar archives).

MaxCommander can connect to file servers and you can manage remote files and folders on such servers. The following servers are supported:

  • FTP
  • FTPS - implicit FTP over SSL/TLS
  • FTPES - explicit FTP over SSL/TLS
  • SFTP
  • SMB
  • AFP
  • WebDAV

For older FTP, FTPS, FTPES, and SFTP servers that do not support UTF8 you can select character encoding to use. Files servers for a local network can be discovered using Bonjour.
