You should have a look at some other FTP servers which are either
simpler, or which have better documentation.

For a simple FTP server, "ftpd" might be a good choice.
For a complex FTP server, proftpd is one.

Since you seems new to FTP, I recommend the simple one (which is very
very likely to do what you want).
