Dear Tyson,
I would recommend vsftpd. It's a nice small ftp server that has always
worked well for me. It is packaged in debian and the man page
"vsftpd.conf" should contain everything you need to configure it for
your needs.
There are many other ftp daemons packaged for debian. If vsftpd does
not offer you what you need you could try pureftpd and proftpd which
seem to be more "feature rich". I hope this helps you.
