Total Commander Alternatives [closed]

Well, honestly I like to put here a great answer to you, but I cannot. Still I can't find an equal program to Total Commander on ubuntu. I'm thinking same way like you about on nautilus and krusader.

Additionally I had needed a good FTP client like on Total Commander.

So I have ended with 2 programs.

1. Double Commander http://doublecmd.sourceforge.net/

   • (+) similar interface
   • (+) easy to use
   • (-) horrible ftp client

2. BS Commander http://www.beesoft.org/index.php?id=bsc

   • (+) similar interface
   • (-) low functionality and configuration

P.S : Even I'm thinking about starting a open source project for making something total commander.

All other file managers in the article are ugly, because as you have pointed out that article is dated four years back. So most of the tools in that article are bound to look outdated(Its from that time period).
For good(new age) alternatives to Nautilus, please refer this post:
Are there any alternatives to Nautilus?
Another list of alternatives, with screenshots:

Personally I like the Kde default file manager Dolphin, after Nautilus.
