How to Start a Standalone FTP Server

1. Become superuser.

2. Add a # sign at the start of the ftp service line in the inetd.conf file to comment out the entry.

3. Signal inetd to reread the inetd.conf file.

   # pkill -HUP inetd

4. Start the standalone FTP server.

   # /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -a -S

   Add the line to an FTP server startup script. See "Run Control Scripts" in System Administration Guide, Volume 1 for information on creating a system startup script.
