Search network

[Thany]

Is it possible to search for a resource (file, directory, computer, whatever) through a whole workgroup or domain at once? Or maybe even through the entire network?

When I press Alt+F7 from a workgroup, I can't get TC to search that folder, because logically \\workgroupname doesn't exist (it says "Search path not found").

[SanskritFritz]

No it is not possible from within TC.

Hello !
• That doesn't work in TC... My son installed a third-party program to do this: Splash LAN Search at:
http://www.splashstudio.com
* Not updated for a long while, but the link works still at this moment.

 Kind regards,

Well speaking about search utility, our Aezay's LAN File Searcher ( http://www.aezay.dk/aezay/lanfs/index.html ) is better!

With NetworkAlt you can search Remote-Computers:

NetworkAlt gives me the error "Unknown ErrorR" with "123" in the title, when I do a search...

/edit
hmm, there are a bit more typos in NetworkAlt, maybe because the author is russian

Same here

The error occurs only because there is a Windows-default-share called IPC$ which points to a directory that doesn't exist.

But after pressing OK the search runs.

[Thany]

Not in my case

Anyway, I'll just use an external program to search. It's not a matter of live and death anyway...

Although I havent worked on this for ages, its still quite useful. Except the internal downloader, don't ever use that, unless you want it to crash of course

Heh! I guess Aezay has hidden to himself programming qualities!!!

[SanskritFritz]

Yeah, he is better than he thinks

Try downloading more than 1 file at the time, or abort the downloads. Then it will freeze or crash.

I see. I never did that, to save brandwidth.
