Hi Russ,
I am aware of Midnight Commander (mc) but never use it before. However to
my knowledge it runs on MSWindows only. I can get mc for MSWindows from
market but now I am looking for an easy for 'Moving" and/or "Coping" to
another location including its sub-directories and files. I am happy to
know if mc is also running on Linux. If there is a version running on Linux
kindly advise me the relevant websites for its download. Thanks in advance.
B.R.
Stephen
