You should be able to install it via urpmi http://silk.apana.org.au/pub/fcl/filecommander-2.40-release1_fedora10.i386.rpm or urpmi http://silk.apana.org.au/pub/fcl/filecommander-2.40-release1_fedora10.x86_64.rpm for x86_64 system, but that doesn't mean that the package will necessarily work.
You can't add a Fedora/RHEL style repo as an urpmi repo, and as it only contains one package, which receives no updates, this is even quite useless.
