How can I run Midnight Commander opening an ftp connection on launch?

  • 772

As the question itself says: I would like to know if there is a way to create a script or direct command line to run midnight commander mc and request the program to open an ftp connection on -let's say- the right panel?

Something like:

mc --open-ftp [email protected]:password --right-panel

Or something like that.

I have seen this tutorial and it works indeed: Save Connection Settings in Midnight Commander, but this allow me to have a bookmark list of my sites, which I must invoke just after running midnight commander.

Any ideas?

server command-line ftp midnight-commander
