| - | Commander Interface is a two-pane file manager interface based on Norton Commander (and similar file managers). When working with a [[task_connection|remote server]], a local folder is displayed in the left panel and a remote folder in the right panel. The interface can be also used as a [[task_file_management|local file manager]] with both panels showing local folders. Files are usually transferred between these two panels, though it is possible to transfer files into a different folder too. This kind of user interface is also known as [[wp>File_manager#Orthodox_file_managers|Orthodox File Manager]]. | + | The Commander Interface is a two-pane file manager interface based on Norton Commander (and similar file managers).

| + | ===== Screen Components ===== | ||
| + | The screen of the interface has several components. Some of them are hidden, by default. They are (from the top to the bottom): | ||
| + | * Main [[ui_toolbars|toolbar]] with the [[ui_commander_menu|main menu]]. | ||
| + | * [[ui_tabs|Tabs]]. | ||
| + | * [[ui_file_panel|File panels]], each having own toolbar, path display, directory tree (hidden by default) and status line. | ||
| + | * [[#command_line|Command line]]. | ||
| + | * [[ui_queue|Background transfer queue list]] (hidden by default). | ||
| + | * Status line. | ||
| + | You can show/hide most of these components from the //Options// menu or using the [[ui_context_menu|context menus]]. | ||
| + | ==== [[command_line]] Command Line ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Command line is an optional component, located by default below the file panels. To show/hide the command line, go to //Options > Command Line//. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Using the command line, you can type and execute any shell command. Depending on which file panel is active, the command is executed either on the local machine (if the local file panel is active) or on remote server (if the remote file panel is active). You can easily see this from the prompt on the left side of the command line. Symbol ''>'' indicates local command, while symbol ''$'' indicates remote command. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can easily [[filenames#command_line|insert names of files]] selected in active panel to command line. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To execute entered command, press ''Enter'' (the input box must have focus). When you execute remote command, [[ui_console|Console window]] is opened to show you the command output. Learn more about [[remote_command|remote commands]] and how to use them. | ||
