trolCommander is billed as a lightweight, cross-platform file manager with a dual-pane interface with tabbed navigation and rich functionality.
There’s multiple virtual systems support including Android, FTP, SFTP, SMB, NFS, HTTP, Amazon S3, Hadoop HDFS, and Bonjour.
trolCommander is a fork of muCommander. Unlike muCommander, trolCommander does not appear to be actively maintained. The last release was in December 2016. However, trolCommander still offers more functionality including good searching, a calculator, single panel mode, and better archive support than muCommander.
