Open Source FreeBSD File Managers

Easy-to-use multi-platform disk cataloguing program supporting local or removable media - drives and folders. Uses XML files as a data storage. It was originally created in 2010 to catalogue software compilations (also called freeware compilations) and CDs distributed with computer magazines. It was later improved to support any kind of disk and folder. It can be used to catalogue fragile disks like CDs, floppies, external hard drives, usb sticks, memory cards which are easy to damage. Cataloguing enables user to check what they contain without putting them physically into drive and avoid a possibility of a mechanical damage. Download package consists of a jar file and a Eclipse project with a full source code. No installation is required. You can copy this program anywhere or transfer it to another computer. Setting unique volume label to a drive before cataloguing is recommended. See blog or homepage for news and changelog. This program requires JRE 8 or newer.

Fpart is a tool that helps you sort file trees and pack them into bags (called "partitions"). It is developped in C and available under the BSD license. It splits a list of directories and file trees into a certain number of partitions, trying to produce partitions with the same size and number of files. It can also produce partitions with a given number of files or a limited size. Once generated, partitions are either printed as file lists to stdout (default) or to files. Those lists can then be used by third party programs. Fpart also includes a live mode, which allows it to crawl very large filesystems and produce partitions in live. Hooks are available to act on those partitions (e.g. immediatly start a transfer using rsync(1)) without having to wait for the filesystem traversal job to be finished. Used this way, fpart can be seen as a powerful data migration tool.

Fiark is a File Transfer Tool (FTT.) Unlike a backup, an FTT is designed to QUICKLY copy ("float") files between a DIVERSE set of computing environments.

Idas (I Don't Accept Seconds) is a high-performance duplicate file detector. Idas plugs into your favorite Unix filter and can tell you exactly which files have been seen before, regardless of whether or not it appears with the same filename.

The nmSync tool provides file synchronization among different platforms (Win32, OSX, BSD, ...) in networked or disconnected environments.
