4.2.8 FTP virtual filesystem of MC

MC can be used to access files over the Internet using FTP. Go to the menu by pressing F9, then type `p' to activate the FTP virtual filesystem. Enter a URL in the form username:[email protected], which will retrieve a remote directory that appears like a local one.

Try http.us.debian.org/debian as URL and browse Debian file archive. See The Debian archives, Section 2.1 for how these are organized.
