Total Commander to display remote content of Linux server

Post by *s4t »

Hi TC users,
Is there any way to use Windows Total Commander (or at least in worst case Linux based Double Commander or something like that, or may be even Total Commander under Linux QEMU which translates the Linux into Windows on the fly) while the content it will be working on is not your Windows harddrive but some remote server or supercomputer? You usually access such servers/supercomputers using the dumb Windows Putty app and a bit cumbersome WinSCP app which is just the FTP or use the command shell (a la Comand Prompt) on Linux which is the same old typing, typing, typing. You can imagine the level of sophistication on our supercomputing community when you from the Total Commander go back to using Command Prompt. You might think ah, oh, supercomputers, Top500, million cores. But in reality this is still like a Stone Age of Neanderthal computing, it really is like you go back to 1970th PDP70/VAX mainframes :lol: :lol: :lol:

You mean something like the FTP client integrated in TC or the SFTP plugin to add SFTP support in TC?

Not quite that. TC or such program has to control the remote server like TC does with Windows PC. Since its GUI is pretty simple, it does not require any large graphics resources hence i do not see why it can not look exactly like we typically see it in Windows.

As to FTP, then it has to be SFTP at least. Unfortunately FTP/SFTP does not allow to execute commands like run the program or launch batch in the queue one remote machine.
