Open Source Rust File Managers

Cleans node_modules, target, build, and friends from your projects. Excellent if you want to back up your code but don't want to include GBs of dependencies, or if you want to back up your code but don't want to include GBs of dependencies, or if you like keeping your disks lean and zippy.

Blazing fast terminal file manager written in Rust, based on async I/O. All I/O operations are asynchronous, CPU tasks are spread across multiple threads, making the most of available resources. Provides real-time progress updates, task cancellation, and internal task priority assignments. Also integrated with Überzug++, covering almost all terminals. Combined with the pre-caching mechanism, greatly accelerates image and normal file loading. Provides real-time progress updates, task cancellation, and internal task priority assignments. Combined with the pre-loading mechanism, greatly accelerates image and normal file loading. Also integrated with Überzug++, covering almost all terminals. Built on a client-server architecture (no additional server process required), integrated with a Lua-based publish-subscribe model, achieving cross-instance communication and state persistence. Install plugins and themes with one command, keeping them always up to date.

Easily and securely share files and directories from the command line through a safe, private and encrypted link using a single simple command. Files are shared using the Send service and may be up to 1GB. Others are able to download these files with this tool, or through their web browser. All files are always encrypted on the client, and secrets are never shared with the remote host. An optional password may be specified, and a default file lifetime of 1 (up to 20) download or 24 hours is enforced to ensure your stuff does not remain online forever. This provides a secure platform to share your files. History tracking your files for easy management, ability to use your own Send hosts. Inspect or delete shared files, accurate error reporting. Streaming encryption and uploading/downloading, very low memory footprint. Intended for use in scripts without interaction.

xplr is a terminal UI-based file explorer that aims to increase our terminal productivity by being a flexible, interactive orchestrator for the ever-growing awesome command-line utilities that work with the file-system. To achieve its goal, xplr strives to be a fast, minimal and more importantly, hackable file explorer. xplr is not meant to be a replacement for the standard shell commands or the GUI file managers. Rather, it aims to integrate them all and expose an intuitive, scriptable, keyboard-controlled, real-time visual interface, also being an ideal candidate for further integration, enabling you to achieve insane terminal productivity.

GCSF is a virtual filesystem that allows users to mount their Google Drive account locally and interact with it as a regular disk partition. Update (April 2019): I am currently still using and maintaining this project but I have very little time to dedicate to it. As such, it might take a while before I get around to fixing known bugs / implementing feature requests / responding to open issues. Thank you for understanding and for expressing sustained interest in this project. GCSF requires the stable branch of the Rust programming language, which can be installed following the instructions on rustup.rs. If you already have Rust installed, make sure that it is updated to the latest version (≥1.26). Make sure you have pkg-config and the fuse library installed. These are usually found in the package repositories of major distributions. Rust can be installed via the lang/rust port. You will need to install sysutils/fusefs-libs for the cairo install command to succeed.

You list files hundreds of times a day. Why spend your time squinting at black and white text? exa is an improved file lister with more features and better defaults. It uses colours to distinguish file types and metadata. It knows about symlinks, extended attributes, and Git. And it’s small, fast, and just one single binary. Different types of file and data will be coloured differently, and the user and group columns will be highlighted for the current user. exa can display a file’s extended attributes, as well as standard filesystem information such as the inode, the number of blocks, and a file’s various dates and times. exa queries files in parallel, giving you performance on par with ls. Not only is the standard tree tool built-in, but it’ll show you your files’ information alongside the hierarchy. View the staged and unstaged status of every file, right there in the standard view. Also works in tree view for a high-level overview of your repository.
