I'm sure that many people use some kind of file manager, and most probably use one of the most popular - Total Commander. For those who don’t know what a file manager is, I’ll tell you in a nutshell. A file manager is a program that provides a convenient and multifunctional interface for working with the entire file system and the files themselves, respectively. Basically, file managers are designed to speed up work with the following frequently performed actions: creating, editing, deleting, searching for files, renaming, copying, moving, opening/playing/viewing, changing attributes and properties, assigning rights, etc. Others In other words, file managers are not only convenient for daily work, but also significantly save the cost of unnecessary mouse clicks. There are file managers that have a large number of additional functions built in, which are not always needed by every user. Therefore, I was looking for one that would have the bare minimum of functionality by default, but at the same time I needed the ability to add additional modules (plugins) with which I could increase the functionality. And the most basic search criterion was a simple and minimal interface that would not distract from work, but contained everything that was most necessary and frequently used. Of course, almost all file managers met similar criteria, and most of them contain a number of settings with which you can customize both the interface and functionality. There are both paid and free ones, the choice is quite large. I chose for myself Far Manager, which is what we will actually talk about today.

Far Manager is a free console file manager for Windows OS.

U Far Manager There is a fairly large abundance of plugins, using which you can, firstly, increase the capabilities of the program, and secondly, make this file manager more convenient for yourself.

As I said just above, there are a large number of file managers with quite different interfaces. But the most convenient one, in my opinion, is a file manager designed in the form of two columns, which allows you to carry out various operations with files much faster. Accordingly chosen by me Far Manager contains two columns in its interface.

Of course, the Windows command line is quite weak compared to the one in UNIX systems, but it still exists. And a file manager Far Manager supports working with the command line, which allows you not to switch between two windows, but to interact with files and the command line. I mainly use the command line in Windows when developing some software, and I very often had to use Far not only as a file manager, but also as a convenient tool for working with the command line. But now I have found for myself, which has a very convenient tool for working with the command line, and Far Manager Now I use it exclusively when working with directories, files and archives.

IN Far there is quite good support for working with FTP. But for some reason I got so accustomed to my work that support FTP in Far Manager I practically don’t use it, although everything is done quite conveniently and simply.

The capabilities of the FAR file manager can be described endlessly, since there are a number of plugins that significantly increase the capabilities of the program. I just talked about some of the program’s functions that I often use; everything else can be added as needed, and the fact that it comes by default with the basic functions of the file manager is a big plus, since each user will collect from Far Manager just the way he needs it.

Registering an earlier version of Far Manager

Earlier Far Manager it was necessary to register in order for all the functionality of the program to be available. And if you have an old version installed Far Manager, then the following instructions are just for you:
I will quote paragraph 2 of the contents of the file “ License.xUSSR.txt«:

2. Citizens of countries of the former USSR have the right to use this version of the FAR for non-commercial purposes free of charge.

I will say that this file manager is absolutely free, reading the same file it becomes clear how to register FAR, namely, point 3:

3. To unlock the functions of the registered version of the specified
categories of persons when registering after running ‘far -r’ must be entered in
as username:
xUSSR registration
in this case, the registration code must be entered in small
in Russian letters the current day of the week.

And so what should we do about this:
launch FAR we write - far -r, after which the window will be removed, and as shown in the bottom screenshot, enter:

Registration name - xUSSR registration
Registration code - Tuesday(here we write the current day of the week)
Well, that's all for registration of the file manager, good luck!
If you downloaded one of the latest versions of the file manager Far, then you do not need to register it.

Russification of Far Manager

By default, the program will speak to us in English. Everything here is much simpler than with the Russification of most programs. If you did everything according to the above instructions, then the Russian language is already installed in the Far Manager program, you just need to enable it, and for this you need to do the following:

• in the open program window, click on the button F9(launch the Far main menu)
• go to menu Options

We choose the one that you need, in my case it is Russian.

After selecting the Menu language, the following window will appear in which you need to select the Help language; there are slightly fewer languages ​​here, namely:

• English
• Hugarion(Hungarian)
• Russian(Russian)

But the one I need is still on the list - Russian.

After all these steps, you should have a file manager installed on your computer. Far Manager, speaking Russian.

Using FAR Manager

The default program window contains two panels in which you can open different directories and files. In each of the panels you can use both the keyboard and the mouse, but file managers, in my opinion, are created to speed up the process of working with directories and files from the keyboard. Of course, this not only speeds up the work process, but also increases convenience significantly.
In order to sort files in any of the panels, you need to hold down the key Ctrl on the keyboard, after which a menu will be displayed at the bottom in which each item corresponds to a key from F1 to F10 and up to F12 in full screen mode:

• F1— show/hide left panel
• F2— show/hide right panel
• F3- sort by file name
• F4- sort by extension
• F5— sort by recording time
• F6- sort by size
• F7- do not sort
• F8— sort by creation time
• F9— sort by access time
• F10— sort by description
• F11— sort by file owner
• F12— launch the sorting menu

Alt, which is mainly designed to work with files and directories, namely:

• F1— open the current drive in the left panel
• F2— open the current drive in the right pane
• F3— here you can open the file for viewing both in an external program and in the file manager itself
• F4— here you can open the file for editing both in an external program and in the file manager itself
• F5— file printing
• F6— here you can create a link (shortcut) to a file or folder
• F7- file search
• F8— display command history
• F9— resizing the program window
• F10- search for folder
• F11— display browsing and editing history
• F12— display folder history

You can also open an additional menu by holding the button Shift, which is mainly intended for working with files and archives, namely:

• F1— add files to the archive
• F2— extract files from the archive
• F3— execute archive management commands
• F4- edit new file
• F5- copy the file under the cursor
• F6— renaming or moving a file under the cursor
• F7- absent
• F8— deleting the file under the cursor
• F9- save configuration
• F10— select the last executed menu item
• F11— use sorting by groups
• F12— show tagged files first

The following menu is launched by pressing the key F9 on keyboard. It contains the following points:

• Left— basic operations that relate to the left panel
• Files— basic operations with files
• Teams- various commands
• Options— here are the basic settings for the program
• Right— basic operations that relate to the right panel

I tried to reveal some of the small capabilities of the program, but the most important assistant in learning this file manager is one of the items in the bottom menu, namely - Help, which can be launched by pressing a key F1 on keyboard.
As I said earlier, a large number of additional plugins are available in Far Manager, but at the moment I only use one plugin - Noisy Player. I wrote about this useful and interesting plugin not long ago, namely: it allows you to play music files on your computer.
All other plugins can be downloaded from the official website of the program.
