A simple workaround FAR's full feature command line support under wineconsole: 1. Install WinSCP FAR plugin 2. Add SCP session to localhost Before using FAR initiate SCP session at one or both of the FAR panels. You're now connected to the same host system with full featured command line support. Now you can use both WIN32 cmd line apps and linux console apps. Enjoy full featured FAR with command line support :-) It doesn't look right but it works. PS if you're using sudo, change sudo bash in the session's config to access your system with root privileges or allow root logins.
