I don't know which ftp server you've installed. It could wsftp, proftpd, even ftpd. Try to find out what ftp server you've installed. I use proftpd, so to run it, all I've to do is to type "proftpd start". You can create users to login on your ftp-server later. Default port for every ftp program I came across uses port 21. It can be changed by editing a config file. If you are behind a Firewall/Router, you will need to forward port 21 to the machine running the server, otherwise your ftp won't be accessible from outside your LAN.

Not sure what you mean. If you want remote administration, you will need to install something like sshd-server on your server/ftp machine. You will then be able to login on your server from any other OS. If you want to administrate that machine from another Linux machine, use ssh-client. If you want to administrate that server machine from a Windows machine, I recommend
Putty(a ssh-client for Windows).
