Proftpd is pretty simple to set up, if you're willing to read the man page. The man page is long (which is good, lots of detail) but very well written, and it takes relatively few options in the configuration to make it work.. I'd think a GUI would make it more complicated than it is, but that's just me perhaps. I don't know off hand of one that has a GUI. Proftpd does not.

Gproftpd is a simple frontend for proftpd that I am quite fond of
Any questions feel free to ask and I will follow up

would scp/ sftp support your needs. if you have sshd running then it is already configured ?

I don't know basically i want to be able to point to multiple directory's for one user like virtual folders
and something simple that my sister or others can easily use on the other side even without software like ftp can

^ most linux distros have openssh suite (sshd, ssh, scp, sftp, openssl) installed by default.
windows and mac mite be a different story.
also, ftp is kinda' deprecated by scp/ sftp.
