Main Window (Commander Interface)
Commander Interface is a two-pane file manager interface based on Norton Commander (and similar file managers). When working with a 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 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 Orthodox File Manager.
