ETP/FTP Server Guidance

[Angelos]

Hello.

I have recently installed ,tried and donated for the greatest indexing program i have ever seen! Really no bs.
Now to my question cause i know your limited time.

I want Everything to index my FTP local drive O:\\

Now what do i input on the ETF/FTP server?

I am a beginner in this, so bare with me, is there any wiki or similar to look into?

Hi,

Maybe this website will help you: https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/etp/
(That's all I can contribute).

If I understand correctly, you don't need to use an ETP Server.
Instead, you can can add your O:-drive as a Folder Index:

• In Everything, go to Menu:Tools > Options > General
• Disable Run as administrator
• Enable Everything Service
• Right-click the Everything system-tray icon and choose Exit
• Start Everything
• Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > Folders
• Click the Add button
• Browse to your O:-drive
• Click the OK button
• Optional: change the update schedule to your liking (or accept the defaults)
• Click the OK button
• Done

Now Everything will scan your O:-drive and include the found files in the index.
When Everything has finished indexing, type

O:

in the search bar and check if your files are listed.


Note:
You can skip the restarting of Everything if Run as administrator and Everything Service are already configured correctly.

Hello again.

I am adding the drive O: as guided but after several hours i get the error below.
After the error, Everything crushes and even when the service is restarted the app is not responding.
If i restart the computer, it is operational again, but the drive needs to be indexed from the start.

I also attach the configuration for your info.

Thank you in advance.

Please update to the latest Everything version.

• Completely exit Everything [right click the Everything system tray icon and click on "Exit"]
• Open Task Manager and stop Everything Service -> CTRL+SHIFT+ESC, "Services" tab,
  type ev, then click on the line with "Everything" underneath, right click, Service: stop
• Download the latest version of Everything -> Everything-1.5.0.1270a.x64.zip
• Extract the new Everything64.exe from the ZIP file and copy it over the existing file.
• Start Everything Service in the Task Manager again -> Status "Running" required!
• Start Everything and check whether the new version is being used. *)
