Our computer is a huge repository of data that we have accumulated over all the time we have been using it. Files, files, files everywhere. They accumulate, multiply, hide in the drive like children playing hide-and-seek – each in its own corner. It seems that just now everything was on the desktop and in neat folders, and now it’s a heck of a mess. And then comes the classic hero in the red cape. Why classic? Because the program is really old. Why a hero? Because the program is still relevant. No pathos, no flashing banners or design fads. Just a software that has been doing its job for years and without surprises.
100% understanding. At first glance, this file tool may seem like something from another era. Its interface is not a modern Mercedes, polished and packed with a bunch of features, but rather a good old Ford from the last millennium, which performs its functions and does it well, despite all the contradictions and the first impression. Everything is in order: two panels, a folder tree, buttons at the bottom. Minimalism? Rather, functionality in its purest form. Working with multiple panels has set a trend for the design of applications in the future, and for example in the AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro program this is clearly visible.
And yes, having two panels is not a design whim, but a real workflow simplification. Open a folder with photos on the left and a removable drive on the right, pull it over, and you’re done. Everything in sight, everything at your fingertips. You can copy, move, delete, rename everything with a single mouse movement. Easy and intuitive as software publisher promise. Ease of use and interface friendliness are always important. For example, the GPU-Z program is needed for something else entirely, but in terms of simplicity and understandability of the interface it is an ideal example, which can be compared to Total.
But don’t let appearances fool you. Underneath this seemingly simple appearance is a beast. The program can do more than it seems. For example, it can connect to FTP servers and work with archives as with ordinary folders – ZIP, RAR, 7z, without problems. Support plug-ins – from PDF viewing to Android gadget control. Compare folders and synchronize contents – a godsend for those who work with backups. The number of settings will please the most fastidious users. Choosing a design theme or adding quick action buttons to the panel is no problem.
If you have ever copied something using Ctrl+C, you are already halfway there. In this software, hotkeys are an art. You can do everything without taking your hands off the keyboard. F5 – copy, F6 – move, Alt+F7 – search, Ctrl+PageDown – enter archive. Does it sound dry and difficult to memorize? Try it yourself, and you will be surprised how quickly you will start clicking operations without the mouse, as if you were playing the piano. Mouse? What mouse?
Well, let’s be obvious here. Appearance is not the strong point of the program and as example EF Commander looks more friendly. It is functional, yes, but it’s 2025, and not everyone is ready to look at pixel icons. However. Have you tried running some fancy file manager on a weak laptop? Five seconds, and the cooler goes on the takeoff. Our guy’s like a bicycle: light, fast, reliable. It weighs less than a photograph and works even on older devices.
If you just want to keep your device organized, it’s a must-have. If you frequently transfer files, make backups, work with archives, work with FTP – it’s a must-have. Programmers, sysadmins, photographers, editors and anyone who works with files for more than an hour a day are probably already familiar with it.
The program will really be useful for every user, there is no doubt about it. And to get it on your computer – nothing can be easier. Just download Total Commander from our website. For your convenience, we give you a choice – you can download either by torrent, or just download the file from the site. Everything is simple, fast and most importantly safe – all files are comprehensively checked with the help of up-to-date databases.
After you have downloaded the archive from the website you need to unzip it using the password specified in the archive name. Then just open the folder and use the installer to install the program on your PC as easily as any other program before. Everything is elementary and convenient!
This is clearly not a fancy toy. It’s a tool. Like a good old hammer in the garage: albeit shabby, but reliable. It does not compete with actual programs with modern wrappers – it has other priorities: speed, stability, control. And this is exactly what is sometimes so badly lacking.
Yes, Commander is paid software. After the trial period, users need to purchase a lifetime license (a one-time payment, no subscription). But if you download it from our site it will be free for you.
It offers a dual-pane interface, built-in archive support, FTP client, file comparison, and batch renaming — features not available in the standard Windows File Explorer, which is more limited and less efficient for power users.
FreeCommander is a decent free alternative but lacks plugin support and a full-featured FTP client. Multi Commander comes closer, but Total is more stable, highly customizable, and supports a wide range of extensions, making it the more powerful choice overall.
Absolutely. One of its core features is the ability to open and create archives like ZIP, RAR, and 7z without needing external tools. You can browse and manage archives just like regular folders.
Yes. It has a rich plugin ecosystem, supporting everything from SFTP/WebDAV access to folder comparison tools and visual themes. Plugins can be added through the “Plugins” directory or directly via the interface.
Yes, Commander includes a built-in “Synchronize Directories” feature. You can access it from the main menu, select source and target folders, and the tool will scan for differences and allow one-way or two-way syncing.
