Install mc on PfSense with error
-
Good afternoon.
During mc installation, the following message:
2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 (amd64)

Newer FreeBSD version for package mc:

And before this was not. On another server. Do not install from there?
What do you advise? -
We advise to not install packages like that on a firewall.
-
To add to that: Midnight Commander is perfectly capable of running on your local client and browsing the firewall filesystem over SSH/SCP (F9, l (L), SFTP Link, use
sftp://root@<firewall ip addr>
). There is no need to install it on the firewall and run the risk of breaking your firewall's package database by mixing pfSense and FreeBSD packages. -
Big fan of WinSCP here, for file moving and editing from a client. Just enable SSH on FW.
