muCommander Add-on for NeoRouter

muCommander Add-on for NeoRouter is a lightweight add-on that can be easily installed in the NeoRouter remote access utility, in order to add muCommander functionality and manage files on another computer. This way, you don't have to resort to a remote desktop tool, which additional more system resources.

Remotely manage files via NeoRouter

Besides the fact that you must have NeoRouter set up, the only other requirement is that Java Runtime Environment must be installed as well, otherwise it won't work.
Worth mentioning is that, unlike other NeoRouter plugins, it's not mandatory for this one to be installed on the remote PC. Restarting the application is necessary to apply modifications after the muCommander integration.

Dual-pane file explorer with Norton Commander style

In the following step, you just have to right-click a computer from your list and click on the "muCommander" entry. No configuration is required to establish this connection. Afterward, you can check out a dual pane file navigator that asks you to pick the favorite theme along with the look and feel at startup.
There are many file management options listed in the menu bar, which you can explore at your own pace if you're not familiar with Norton Commander-style interface. Common file operations can be made such as copy, move, rename and create folder.

Standard and advanced file operations

You can also open a selected location in Windows Explorer, run commands, pack and unpack files (ZIP, TAR, TAR/GZIP, TAR/BZIP2), send files via email using a built-in SMTP client, and rename files in batch mode by applying rules (e.g. search and replace characters, convert to upper or lower case).
It's also possible to split files into smaller parts and put them back together, calculate MD5, SHA-256 and other checksums, change timestamps and file attributes, compare folders, sort items by many criteria, set bookmarks and favorites, as well as connect to servers via SMB, FTP, SFTP, HTTP or NFS.

Easy-to-use add-on that brings muCommander to NeoRouter

We haven't experienced any issues with the muCommander integration. The interface is a bit out of style but, other than that, the add-on is practical for NeoRouter users looking for a solution to manage files on remote computers without having to access the remote desktop.
