Package configuration
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ ProFTPD configuration ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ ProFTPD can be run either as a service from inetd, or as a standalone server. Each choice has its own benefits. With only a few FTP connections per day, it is probably better to run ProFTPD from │
│ inetd in order to save resources. │
│ │
│ On the other hand, with higher traffic, ProFTPD should run as a standalone server to avoid spawning a new process for each incoming connection. │
│ │
│ Run proftpd: │
│ │
│ from inetd │
│ standalone │

│ <Ok> │
