I have been using FreeCommander for many years and it is, simply, outstanding. To not have a real file manager is a misfortune; to be without FreeCommander is to be handicapped. Over time I have introduced many new users to FreeCommander and the results are always the same after several weeks of use - fascination that they ever managed to function with that Windows File Explorer thing. I had moved to FreeCommander when the old Xtree/XtreeGold file manager was no longer functional in Windows, and other file managers were not handling the complex file management work regularly encountered. At first, the two default panes in FreeCommander seemed odd. Though one pane can be disabled or hidden, dual panes grow quickly on the user until one realizes - wait, how can anyone function with a file manager that has just one pane?

Oh - and the description for this program at the top says the FTP function is not implemented - but that is old. If I am not mistaken it *IS* implemented very recently.

I LOVE this program so much I became a beta-tester! I've used it for years and it just gets better and better and more polished as time goes on. The authour is very active on the project and handles every reported issue. So you can't go by issues reported in the comments here since they are most likely resolved by now.

My current favourite File Manager. It does throw a wobbly now and again when upacking zip files and trying to cancel. It just locks up and continues and you have to kill the process in the task manager. Apart from that, very nice.
