* FTP search 1.0 alpha *
|
|
|
|
This is an alpha version of FTP search. FTP search is a program
|
|
for indexing/searching in the contents on ftp servers. Now you
|
|
can have your own small scale server indexing your ftp server
|
|
only.
|
|
|
|
After performing make/make install of this port, you must go to
|
|
/usr/local/ftpsearch and perform `make setup' to configure the
|
|
software for the first time. If it fails, you may have to edit
|
|
/usr/local/ftpsearch/etc/sites a little (specifying the ftp server
|
|
you want to index), and check the file in with rcs again. Then you
|
|
can try `make setup' one more. If it fails this time too, read the
|
|
INSTALL file and examine the logs.
|
|
|
|
If you have lots of network bandwidth, CPU, RAM and disk space, you
|
|
can configure it to index almost every ftp server. It is recommended
|
|
that you cooperate with others running an FTP search server, to avoid
|
|
loading the same long-distance links with multiple transfers of the
|
|
same ls listings.
|
|
|
|
This is the software that runs on ftpsearch.ntnu.no. That machine is a
|
|
PC running FreeBSD 3.0-current. It has 15 GB disk, a 100 MHz Pentium
|
|
processor, 128 MB memory and 2 MS160SE cards with 96 MB RAM on each
|
|
card. It currently indexes 4700 ftp servers, with over 66 million
|
|
files, and handles around 550000 requests/day with this software.
