On June 29th, Duy Nguyen has released version 4.5g beta of F, the Swiss army knive of file managers. F is a freeware text-mode multi-platform application. Supported operating systems are OS/2, AIX, BSD, Linux, and Win32.

F is not only a very configurable file manager, but also offers an FTP/FXP client, an editor with syntax-highlighting, numerous tools for developers, simple e-mail and news clients, as well as small HTTP and FTP servers. F comes with its own FFP (F to F protocol) for file transfers and remote file execution, providing services for remote administration. Note that the interface is keyboard-only.

Besides bugfixes there are also some new features which include virtual file system (VFS) support for numerous more archiver formats without the need for external helpers, including WarpIN (!), bzip2 (also in connection with TAR), and RAR.

You can download F from the beta section of the F home page at http://filemanager.free.fr/.
