What are ETP link types?
There are four link types that change the way the Everything client accesses files on the ETP server.
When connecting to an ETP server you can specify the link type.

1). C:
No change, the paths are the same as they are on the server.
This is useful if you index a subst'ed drive on the server and are using mapped network drives on the client.

2). \\Server\C
Use Windows shares (this is the default link type).
By default these shares do not exist, you will need to create them on the server if you wish to use this method.

3). \\Server\C$
Use the default admin drive shares.

4). ftp://host/C:
Use ftp links.

Run an ETP server with a different index using Multiple instances

You can run more than one instance of Everything by using ''multiple instances''.
Using multiple instances you can run one instance as you would normally and another to index folders for the ETP Server.

To run a new instance of Everything with a different index:

• Copy Everything.exe to a new folder and run:

  Code: Select all

  Everything.exe -instance "HTTP Server"

  This does not have to be HTTP Server you can use any name you like.
• Run this shortcut and setup the new index.
• Start the ETP server.

To distinguish which instance is which:
You can tell which instance is which by either of the following:

• Hovering over the tray icon.
• Checking the search window caption.
