probably a long shot but are there any lightweight alternatives to windows file explorer for 2024?

i'm stuck on windows for now until the time comes to grab a new laptop. so sick of the default one in windows 11 though.

I think I've heard that Dolphin of KDE Plasma does work on Windows. I didn't know this, I don't think it's true, I've never tried it, but I've heard it.

Are there any that integrate FTP support, such as Nautilus does on Linux?

Looks like trolCommander, muCommander, and WinSCP all have FTP support on Windows.

If you're fine with or want a two-pane Commander, Double Commander supports FTP.

I feel like a lot of alternative file explorers do!? Pretty sure I've seen it relatively often/regularly.

KDE's Dolphin runs on Windows and has that integrated. I don't know for sure, though, that FTP support works on Windows...
