apt-get install vsftpd
For config you need to edit the file:
/etc/vsftpd.conf
If you want users to have access to their own home directories on the system then you uncomment out the line:
local_enable=YES
If like me you don't want a "free for all" directorie on the server then change the "anonymous_enable" line from "yes" to "no":
anonymous_enable=NO
for users to actually be able to write files to the server (this is probably the case unless you are only distributing files) you have to uncomment the line:
write_enable=YES
