A multithreaded ftp site indexer written in python

About index-ftps

index-ftps is a tool for indexing and searching the files on ftp sites. It works best with moderately sized ftp sites (i.e. <300.000 files), although I may at some point decide to use a reasonable data structure for storage. index-ftps requires no database access, as data is simply stored sequentially in a compressed file.

index-ftps is written in python, and has been used with both 2.4.x and 2.3.x interpreters.

Features

  • Multithreading for faster indexing.
  • No database access required.
  • Regular expression based searches.
  • Requires only a standard python installation.
  • Trivial installation.
