A simple and valid Proftpd configuration file from a Slackware machine:
Code:
# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file.
# It establishes a single server and a single anonymous login.
# It assumes that you have a user/group "nobody" and "ftp"
# for normal/anonymous operation.

ServerName                      "ProFTPD Default Installation"
#ServerType                     standalone
ServerType                      inetd
DefaultServer                   on
AllowLogSymlinks                on

# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port                            21
# Umask 022 is a good standard umask to prevent new dirs and files
# from being group and world writable.
Umask                           022

# To prevent DoS attacks, set the maximum number of child processes
# to 30.  If you need to allow more than 30 concurrent connections
# at once, simply increase this value.  Note that this ONLY works
# in standalone mode, in inetd mode you should use an inetd server
# that allows you to limit maximum number of processes per service
# (such as xinetd)
MaxInstances                    30

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.
User                            nobody
Group                           nogroup

SystemLog                       /var/log/proftpd.log
TransferLog                     /var/log/xferlog

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory /*>
  AllowOverwrite                on
</Directory>

# A basic anonymous FTP server configuration.
# To enable this, remove the user ftp from /etc/ftpusers.
<Anonymous ~ftp>
  RequireValidShell             off
  User                          ftp
  Group                         ftp
  # We want clients to be able to login with "anonymous" as well as "ftp"
  UserAlias                     anonymous ftp

  # Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins
  MaxClients                    50

  # We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed
  # in each newly chdired directory.
  DisplayLogin                  welcome.msg
  DisplayFirstChdir             .message

  # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
  <Limit WRITE>
    DenyAll
  </Limit>

  # An upload directory that allows storing files but not retrieving
  # or creating directories.
#  <Directory incoming/*>
#    <Limit READ>
#      DenyAll
#    </Limit>
#
#    <Limit STOR>
#      AllowAll
#    </Limit>
#  </Directory>

#<Limit LOGIN>
#DenyAll
#AllowGroup users
#</Limit>

just use your linuxbox login name and password... (but not root, because root should be disabled and is disabled by default.)

Use the adduser script if it's available for your system. Otherwise, you can use useradd (see man useradd for more info) OR there are User Administration tools in your bigger desktop environments such as KDE or GNOME.

Cool

Inside the conf file, look at:
Code:
# Port 21 is the standard FTP port.
Port                            21


Cool

When you change anything in the conf, you have to restart the server, then, to connect, you have to specify the new port:
ftp 1.2.3.4:9999

Assuming you changed it to 9999

How are you accessing it?

Make sure your firewall isn't blocking the new port you've decided to use.

Cool
