Free UNIX Shells

Boy, I thought free shell servers were gone a long time ago – but after a quick google this morning while looking for somewhere to bounce a reverse ssh tunnel off of – I discovered they are alive and well. If anyone else finds themselves in the same need, check out “The biggest Free Shell list on the net “.

Carry on…

Total Commander

I was using one of my ’staple’ applications today and realized that there are probably a lot of people who are not familiar with it, so this update is a quick note about Total Commander.

I’ve been using Total Commander (originally named Windows Commander) for over 10 years now and it’s one of the first apps to get installed on any new workstation.

Not just “another shell” or “another file manager”, Total Commander makes hard and impossible tasks easy.

The basics are certainly covered (and then some) and the support for plugins makes this app one you’ll find yourself using for just about every file task under the sun from copying files, to syncing FTP sites, browsing SCP sites and (if you’re a super die-hard geek) – reading and writing email!

Since I’m at work and have to make this short – go check out the Total Commander website. You won’t be sorry

BTW – I just thought of posting this app since I’m heading over to download the CvsBrowser plug-in…

My Rating: 3.5/5 for a base install, 5/5 once plug-ins are added
