I love Far Manager for its very quick, keyboard driven interface. It has been my favorite workhorse for at least 15 years.
Now unfortunately I can no longer use it to connect to a Centos VB with WinSCP plugin, I keep getting:
"expected key exchange group packet from server"
I discovered that now it's replaced by NetBox plugin:
https://github.com/michaellukashov/Far-NetBox/releases/download/v2.4.3.512/FarNetBox-2.4.3_Far3_x64.7z
Just do F11 (Plugin) , Netbox and you connect on port 2222 (forwarding of port 22 in VirtualBox) with centos/centos
Excellent!

In praise of Far Manager
I personally hate Windows Explorer - it's very unsafe (you can't disable the drag and drop, which is a major source of trouble) and buggish. It lacks even the fundamental feature of displaying 2 directories side by side.
The almost first thing I do when I have a new computer is to install Far Manager
http://www.farmanager.com/download.php?l=en
with its WinSCP plugin.
For those who have used Norton Commander in the old DOS days, it's basically the same.
The WinSCP plugin lets you seamlessly connect to a remote system through SSH and operate as it was a local filesystem - it even acts as a terminal.
Some love Total Commander, my experience still favours Far Manager.
