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?

I can't install Midnight Commander (mc) on Ubuntu 18.04.1.

/etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-security main
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates main

And this is the reply I get when I try to install:

$ sudo apt-get install mc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package mc is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or 
 is only available from another source

This didn't help (#1):

$ sudo apt-get update

This didn't help (#2):

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mc

It also didn't help to change mirror to http://de.archive.ubuntu.com, for example.

Midnight Commander 3.4.8.1 > File Find. What text do I have to put in the »Content:« text field and in the other fields? I tried several settings in the other fields but mc always returned no result. (This is not explained in 'man mc'.) My hope is to perform some grep-like action using mc. http://svn.dd-wrt.com:8000/browser//src/router/mc2/src/filemanager/find.c did not enlighten me.
