On the Internet, you can find an excellent program called Total Commander, which extends to the Windows and Android platforms. This utility is a file manager and allows you to easily manage your files.
The program was officially released back in 1993, making it one of the first file managers for Windows. You can download it on the official website of the developer. It is distributed in Russian, so it is ideal for all users.
A big plus is that it is available for mobile devices running Android. But what if the program does not work or you do not want to use it? Especially for you, we have compiled a list of Total Commander analogues. There are a lot of such programs. Today we look at some of them.
Analogs Total Commander
Some programs will be listed and briefly described below. Among all the variety, you can choose exactly the option that is ideal for the realization of a particular goal.
Winrar
When we think about file managers, the equally popular Total Commander analogue comes to mind. WinRar is not just a file manager. And the first time it’s difficult to call him. After all, this program is also an archiver.
The utility requires the purchase of a license after the trial period. However, you can still use it. This is a good replacement that almost every Windows user owns.
Freecommander
This is a free analogue of Total Commander, which is very similar to it - it is practically a "twin brother". Suitable for users who do not want to deal with Total. This program also has a built-in FTP client that will help people who own websites or servers. It has an official site through which it is recommended to download this program.
Analogue Total Commander for Linux
If you are a happy user of this operating system, but don’t know which replacement to choose, here is a short list of programs. They will help you in your household chores.
Double commander
For a long time we did not have open source Linux programs. This program is a replacement for "Total", which is suitable for other operating systems, which makes it universal in comparison with other analogues. This property is also one of the most important.
A plus can be called the fact that at any time you can install the plugins that are present in Total Commander. For example, these are WCX, WDX and WLX. They open up very great opportunities and expand their list. A very good feature of this software is that it is free.
The developer of this program has an official site. It is recommended to download the utility from it, since there is no risk to infect your computer with viruses.
It’s easy to download, but there’ll be little difficulty installing the software. To do this, you need to perform several steps. If you are "friends" with computers, it will be easy to do.
1. Add the repository in which our program is stored.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexx2000/doublecmd
2. Get a fresh list of updates.
sudo apt-get update
3. Install the program.
sudo apt-get install doublecmd-gtk
Done. After that, you can safely use your program.
Midnight commander
This, in turn, is an excellent analogue of Total Commander for Ubuntu. This program has everything you need in order to use it in everyday circumstances. This software is open source, distributed free of charge, and the developer has an official website. I would like to note that this is a console file manager, which can be installed using the command. It must be entered into the terminal.
sudo apt-get install mc
After that, the software installation process will start. Wait for the end. After that, you can run the program.
But what about security?
All programs have official sites or repositories through which you can (even need) download installation files. They are virus-free, the latest version, without SMS and registration. This is very convenient, so hardly anyone can make a mistake. The important thing is not to confuse it with the trick of the creators of viruses.
Conclusion

Of course, this is not all the analogues of “Total” that exist. But they are the most popular, functional, safe and convenient for daily use by users for any purpose.
