Arachne is a search engine for files and directories shared via FTP and similar protocols.
To install Arachne, make sure you have Python 2.5 and the Python
bindings for Xapian (provided by the python-xapian Debian/Ubuntu
package) installed. Then run python setup.py install at the terminal
prompt.
Although it is not required, you should consider installing a DNS
cache server (such as the provided by the djbdns or pdnsd
Debian/Ubuntu packages) in the host running Arachne to speed up the
DNS queries.
See django/README.md for instructions to install the Django
application.

Arachne was inspired by FTP Locate, which was created by Andy Teijelo
Pérez. See also THANKS.md for a list of other people who have
contributed to the project.
