Starting a Standalone FTP Server

The FTP server can also be run independently of the inetd.conf as a standalone server.

A standalone server always has the quickest possible response time, and is intended for large servers that are dedicated to providing FTP service. The standalone server provides low connection latency for dedicated servers because the standalone system never has to be restarted. The standalone server is always running-even during off-peak hours-waiting indefinitely for connections.
