Welcome to the homepage of Jfilerunner
Jfilerunner is a file manager for UNIX/Linux systems. It is written in 100% pure
Java, though it depends on some external programs found on all UNIX/Linux
systems (see the README file). Jfilerunner is a file manager in
the Midnight Commander-style tradition, meaning that it uses two side-by-side
panels for performing various file operations, with one panel being the "source"
and the other being the "destination". Jfilerunner is free software and is
distributed under the GNU General Public License, including source code.
Features
- File associations: user can define actions to take when double-clicking a
particular type of file.
- Running history of directories navigated, with simple history navigation.
- Ability to bookmark favorite directories.
- Ability to download a file off the Web via HTTP.
- Multi-threaded file and GUI operations.

Look at the CHANGELOG to see what's changed since the last version.

Bug
On many newer Linux systems, there is a problem with how file information is displayed. If you get
an error message saying "String index out of range: -1", then your system is affected. Read the
instructions here for the solution to the problem.
