What is GNU Midnight Commander?

Midnight Commander is a powerful file management tool that operates in text-mode, enabling users to efficiently manage files and directories across various computing environments. Designed as a visual file manager, Midnight Commander provides a feature-rich, full-screen interface that allows users to perform essential file operations such as copying, moving, and deleting files and directories, as well as searching for files and running commands in a subshell. The application is built upon versatile text-based interfaces like Ncurses or S-Lang, enabling it to function seamlessly in a wide range of settings, including regular consoles, X Window terminals, SSH connections, and remote shells
