<h2>Description</h2>

The ServerType directive configures the server daemon's operating mode. The type-identifier can be one of two values: inetd The daemon will expect to be run from the inetd "super server." New connections are passed from inetd to proftpd and serviced immediately. standalone The daemon starts and begins listening to the configured port for incoming connections. New connections result in spawned child processes dedicated to servicing all requests from the newly connected client.
