"One of the most common administrative tasks that end users and administrators alike need to perform is file management. Managing files can consume a major portion of your time. Locating files, determining which files and folders (directories) are taking the most disk space, deleting files, moving files, and simply opening files for use in an application are some of the most basic—yet frequent—tasks we do as computer users. File management programs are tools that are intended to streamline and simplify those necessary chores." -- source: http://opensource.com/business/15/4/eight-linux-file-managers My gripes with Caja (MATE's equivalent of Nautilus) is that it cannot handle lots of files in a directory. A directory containing 10s of thousands of files will bring the file browser to a stand still for several minutes. Midnight commander takes less than a second for the same directory. Krusader is pretty good as well, with 1-2 seconds. Nice thing about Krusader: both panels can have multiple tabs, making it quite versatile.

One feature I didn’t see mentioned is the ability to access remote machines and move files between local and remote. For example, Konqueror can do this (using a “fish://host/dir” URL) but Dolphin can’t. Konqueror does this securely via SSH.

Krusader, Nautilus, Caja can connect remotely to servers, using sftp (for instance). Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174 http://www.data-mining.co.nz/

I connect routinely, and as securely as SSH permits, to remote machines using Dolphin and SSHFS, see e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHFS#Usage Wolfgang
