How'bout good ole midnight commander?

emerge -s mc 

if you compile it with USE="X" for X11 support, and run it inside an
xterm with 'mc -x', it supports interfacing with the mouse (right
click to tag files, mouse scroll scrolls the pane, left click to
select/enter directories/execute files/view files). It doesn't support
drag-n-drop, but you can tag the files and then click on 'move' or
'copy'. 

It supports a lot of virtual filesystems: the local fs, ftpfs, tarfs,
undelfs (undeleting files on ext2), fish (ssh), mcfs, and optional
smb/cifs support. 

To connect to an external host, click either 'left' or 'right' on the
menu bar (corresponds to which pane you want to connect), and select
'Shell Link'.
