Sometimes it can be useful to start a program manually, for example when the program does not have an entry in the menu. This is easy to do with the Run Program dialogue.

  1. Open the Run Program dialogue by typing: Alt+F2

  2. Enter the name of the program you wish to run, and press Enter.

Q:

How do I connect to a remote machine from the File Manager (Thunar)?

A:

The File Manager (Thunar) does not allow you to connect to remote machines yet. These features are planned for a future release of Thunar. For FTP transaction, you may want to install the program gFTP (see Add Applications).
