Truly the best Norton Commander clone for the Windows console. Lots of plugs-in available (FTP, Archiving, file splitting/combining, process list, etc.). It is console only which may turn off some users but the benefit is the low resource and memory usage compared to other file managers (tops out about 6 MB with several plug-ins running vs.Total Commander (30MB) or Speed Commander (28 MB)). Far Commander can't view graphics files either, it relies on whatever viewer is installed on your system If you were a heavy user of Norton Commander in the DOS era (as I was) you will find FAR easy to use and configure. Unfortunately there are other alternatives that mimic NC such as Total Commander, Speed Commander in addition to good freeware such as Free Commander and Double Commander. It is portable however and therefore has a place on a flash drive and since it is console it would work when booting into safe mode command prompt for deleting stubborn malware. Highly recommended as an addition (but not replacement) to your primary file manager.

Version 2.0 introduced native UTF-8/UTF-16 support, alas, many other parts of the application have been rewritten and become buggy, e.g. search in a file "misses" existing information.
