I wish mc could browse remote URLs, and I'm tempted to author an mc clone in Go to address this particular pain-point. Maybe some day handcrafting bespoke rsync/rclone commands will frustrate me enough to motivate me.

In the Left/Right menu in mc, you can select FTP, SFTP and SSH URLs to browse. Is this not what you mean?

And for other protocols like WebDAV you can mount them and then traverse with mc.

That is what I mean. Glad to hear mc supports this already!
