Download/HomepageA new Archie type search has been released by
FerretSoft called File Ferret, this is another program in the Net
Ferret series and like the others is a superb program. It is
small, fast, very efficient .. With File Ferret, as with the
others in the series, you can search multiple servers at once.
The program works very much like any other Archie program, but
the benefits you get with this program are, multiple Archie
servers accessed at the same time, a very fast FTP client built
in, very easy to use and the option to search on Archie sites in
specific areas of the world as in the following list: All of
America Asia Australia and New Zealand Central America Eastern
Europe Middle East North America Scandinavia South America United
States Western Europe Or search all of the Archie sites listed
above simultaneously which is listed under the Whole World.
The searches are very fast and all the retrieved data is listed
in an easy to read manner with location, file name, size and
date. If you know the full name of the file you are looking for,
enter it in the space provided and click match all keywords,
select the area of the world, or the whole world, and click
"Find Now". If you are unsure of the correct name, type
in what you do know and select match any keyword, select your
search preferences and start the search. The program will list
all files which match any of the keywords you use, which may turn
out to be a very large number. File Ferret is not restricted by
the type of file it can find, it will find and list any that are
available for public access. Once again, ease of use and speed
are superb. I was very impressed with the built in FTP client, it
was fast and very easy to use, all you need to do is tell it
where to put the file once it's been downloaded. should you wish
to select and download multiple search results, File Ferret has
the capabilities to handle those as well. This program also has
the ability to work via either an FTP, or HTTP proxy server.
Should you find you need any help, there is a very good help file
with the program. Another of the Net Ferret series which I highly
recommend.
