Norton Commander-style dual-panel FTP client for MS-DOS on real x86 hardware, built with Open Watcom and mTCP (https://github.com/retrohun/mTCP).

Features

  • Two panels: local (DOS) and remote (FTP, passive mode)
  • Copy in both directions (F5), including recursive directory trees
  • Multiple selection with the Ins key (Norton style) for copy/delete
  • Create (F7), rename (F6), recursive delete with pre-count confirmation (F8)
  • Navigate directories; view files with F3 (or Enter) — up to 32 KB displayed
  • Remote view (F3) downloads to a temporary file first, then opens the viewer
  • Edit local text files with F4 — minimal full-screen editor (~32 KB, local only)
  • FTP connection keepalive: sends NOOP every 60 s to prevent server idle timeouts
  • Bilingual German/English UI (auto-detected from DOS country setting, or forced on the command line: NCFTP386 /L:EN)
  • Tested on real 386 hardware with a genuine LAN card

Requirements

  • MS-DOS 5.x (or higher/compatible), 80×25 text mode
  • Packet driver + mTCP configuration file (MTCPCFG env variable) + valid IP

Assets

  • NCFTP386.EXE - Ready-to-run DOS binary
  • ncftp386-mtcp-src-ad9cd0f.zip - mTCP source (GPLv3 §6 — corresponding source for the statically linked mTCP library)
