You'll need to make sure you have an ftp server installed, try:
ls /usr/sbin/in.*
you probably have in.proftd or in.ftpd.
edit /etc/inetd.conf
uncomment or add the line:
ftp stream nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd # or in.proftpd
make sure inetd is running:
ps ax | grep inetd
it should be, if not, make sure you have /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet then add:
ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99inetd
For safety you should edit your /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny
files to only allow telnet and fto access from specific machines/IPs.
That's another topic.
If you want real features and flexibility, replace inetd with xinetd.
Then install webmin, which has a GUI web-based interface for telnet, ftp,
apache, sendmail + practically anything else you can think of. It's then
very easy to configure advanced features for lots of this stuff.
Good luck
