far2l<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/elfmz/far2l|title=far2l|date=25 March 2022|via=GitHub}}</ref> project develops port of Far Manager v2 working on Linux, [[MacOS]] and BSD systems. As of February 2021, the port successfully builds and the most common functions work. Among ported and working plugins are Colorer, MultiArc and TmpPanel. There is also the new NetRocks plugin implementing network connections via [[FTP]], [[Files_transferred_over_shell_protocol|FISH]], [[Secure_copy_protocol|SCP]], [[SSH_File_Transfer_Protocol|SFTP]], [[Server_Message_Block|SMB]], [[Network_File_System|NFS]] and [[WebDAV]]. As of January 2022, the project has moved to the beta stage, support for python and lua scripts has been added.

far2l also supports "terminal extensions". Although FAR2L itself is a TUI application, it can run in GUI or TTY backends modes. While TTY backend can run in any terminal (like, for example, [[xterm]]), it can also run inside a built-in terminal of GUI mode far2l, gaining capabilities not available on "regular" terminals (such as recognizing all possible keyboard key combinations, even with keyup events). Also, the "host" far2l can provide shared clipboard access and desktop notifications. Those extensions can be used by running TTY far2l inside an [[Secure Shell|SSH]] client session opened in "host" GUI far2l (or by using SFTP/SCP protocols in NetRocks to run remote far2l via "execute remote command" feature).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://github.com/elfmz/far2l/blob/master/far2l/bootstrap/scripts/FarEng.hlf.m4|title = Far2l|website = [[GitHub]]|date = 16 October 2021}}</ref>
