Yoo-hoo! Commander One runs natively on Mac computers with Apple silicon: M1 and M2 series!
Dual-panel versatility is amazing
The two-panel system is a gift for those who work with several directories and files at the same time every day. Jumping back and forth across windows is not convenient at all. With Commander One you can have both folders open in the same window. Commander One's interface lets you open an unlimited number of tabs, supports any file types, offers the ability to set up your very own hotkeys for any action, and way more.
Speed up your work on the computer when performing the most frequent tasks. Copy, delete, duplicate, show package content, reload, edit, and much more with a snap of a finger. Set up your own key combos for lightning-fast work with files. Any action is done much faster with your favorite hotkeys. Leave your mouse behind and move faster with hotkeys.
Command Line bar offers great control over your files. It is a useful addition for advanced Macbook users and not only. There is no longer need to waste time launching the Terminal as a separate application. Your file structure and system processes are in good hands with the built-in Mac Terminal emulator.
Convenient file operations
Besides being a great FTP software for Mac, Commander One is probably the fastest way to copy, move, delete the files, and more. Be able to add all operations to the queue and execute them one after another, search for files using regular expressions. For quick acquaintance with the contents of the file, Commander One offers you a built-in viewer. In addition the app has root access to guarantee you complete control over your files and folders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Some users prefer support for different protocols, some users want their FTP client to have a dual-pane interface, others want it to support encryption feature. So choose wisely taking into account the features you need for certain purposes.
