ftpd from the base system is not bad, try `man 8 ftpd'

do
  pw groupadd -n ftp -g 21
  pw useradd -n ftp -u 21 -g ftp -c 'File Transfer Protocol Daemon' \
    -d /home/ftp/./pub -s /sbin/nologin -h -
create the ftp subtree from the description in ftpd(8) and enable ftpd
in inetd.conf:
  ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/ftpd       ftpd -r -A
or start it with /usr/libexec/ftpd -D -r -A


If you *really* want to have non-anonymous FTP access you can start two
daemons on different addresses with `ftpd -D -a address' or look into
ports ftp/proftpd and ftp/pure-ftpd.
