If the machine has sshd running then why not use sftp to pull your files? If you want plain old ftp then your gonna have to run an ftpd and in most cases it's a bigger security risk then nessassary. You can even get the kio_fish plugin for KDE and use Konqueror to sftp to the server you want to transfer files to or from. I would suggest doing this because it's much more secure then plain ftp. If you need a Windows client for a user that you have then push them into the direction of WinSCP which resembles CuteFTP but does it's transfers over ssh.
A good idea to use sftp, as I have the sshd running. Now I have installed the kio_fish too. I opened the Konqueror, and wrote sftp://192.168.1.5, and in the login area, I entered root, and the password. I was logged in on the other machine, but the screen shows: sftp://192.168.1.5/root And I'm in a /bin directory, and cannot see any further directories on the other computer ?.
