# fr(1)

simple and efficient file manager with FTP

## NAME

filerunner - simple and efficient file manager with FTP

## SYNOPSIS

**fr** *\[-iconified\]* *\[left-start-dir\]* *\[right-start-dir\]*

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **filerunner** program, which includes the **fr** command.  This manual page was written for Debian GNU/Linux (but may be used by others) because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation under /usr/share/doc/filerunner; see the files in that location for more details. **filerunner** also has online help available.

**filerunner** is a graphical file management utility for the X Windowing System.  **filerunner** is useful not only for the management  of your own files but also for remote files, due to its inclusion of FTP utilities.  One unique feature is **filerunner**'s ability to copy a file between two remote sites.

## OPTIONS

**fr** has several invocation options:

- **-iconified**

  Start up iconified.

- **left-start-dir**

  Start by showing this directory in the left panel

- **right-start-dir**

  Start by showing this directory in the right panel
