• Check Enable ETP/FTP server.
• Click OK.
  
  
  

Please make sure you share each drive on your server as its drive letter.

For example, share C: drive as: C

To use custom shares, please see ETP Client path rewriting.

To connect to an ETP server:

• In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click connect to ETP server....
• Type in the server name or IP for the host.
• Click OK.
  
  
  

There are four link types that change the way the Everything client accesses files on the ETP server.

Specify the link type when connecting to an ETP server.

Link types:

To change the ETP/FTP server username and password:

• In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.

To index different NTFS volumes for the ETP server, see Multiple Instances.

Everything can only connect to one ETP server at a time.

Use the Everything Server to index multiple remote Everything indexes.

Everything cannot index ETP servers.

Use the Everything Server to index a remote Everything index.

Everything works best if you share each drive as a single letter, for example, share your C: drive as C, D: drive as D and so on.

To create a windows share for a single folder, please follow the guide below:

For example, we want to host an ETP/FTP server for one folder:

C:\share

Substitute a drive letter for the local folder c:\share:

• From a command prompt, run:
  subst H: c:\share
  
  
  

Setup an index to include only the H: drive.

• In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab.
• Uncheck Include in database for all volumes, except the H: drive.
• Click OK.
  
  
  

Add a share name to c:\share

• In Explorer, right click the c:\share and click properties.
• Click the Sharing tab.
• Click Advanced Sharing....
• Click Add.
• Type in H for the share name.
• Click OK.
• Click OK.
• Click Close.

Connect to the ETP/FTP server with \\Server\C links.

Every file and folder indexed by Everything can be searched and downloaded via the ETP server.

To disable file downloading:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the ETP Server tab.
• Uncheck allow file download.

See Disable ETP/FTP Server to remove the ETP server options and prevent the ETP server from starting.

To disable the ETP/FTP server:

• Exit Everything (right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
• Open your Everything.ini in the same location as your Everything.exe
• Change the following line:
  allow_etp_server=1
  to:
  allow_etp_server=0
• Save changes and restart Everything.
  
  
  

ETP clients can rewrite the ETP server paths so they can be accessed from different shares.

For example, rewrite the path D:\music to \\server\music and "D:\Install Files" to "\\server\Install Files"

To rewrite the paths on the ETP client.

• On the Everything ETP client PC:
• Completely exit Everything (Right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini
• Change the following lines:
  etp_client_rewrite_patterns=
etp_client_rewrite_substitutions=
  to:
  etp_client_rewrite_patterns=D:\music;"D:\\Install Files"
etp_client_rewrite_substitutions=\\server\music;"\\\\server\\Install Files"
• Save changes and restart Everything.

The pattern must match the path on the server. It is not effected by the link type.

To run an Everything ETP server as a client service (not to be confused with the Everything service):

• Copy your Everything.exe to an empty folder.
• Run Everything.exe as administrator
• Please make sure Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything is disabled.
• Please make sure the Everything service is not installed.
• Setup your indexes.
• Setup the ETP server settings.
• Completely exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
• From a command prompt, navigate to your Everything.exe
• Run the following command to install the client service:
  Everything.exe -install-client-service
  
  This will install and start the Everything ETP server as a service.
  
  
  

To uninstall the Everything client service:

• From a command prompt, navigate to your Everything.exe
• Run the following command to install the client service:
  Everything.exe -uninstall-client-service
  
  
  

Everything Client Service

To automatically connect to an ETP server when starting Everything:

• On the "Everything" client, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Home tab.
• Change Index to: ETP server.
• Set the ETP server to: username:password@host:port
• Set the desired Link type.
• Click OK.
