I don't mind, but how do I even get proftpd, seeing you don't exactly have aptitude/apt, so getting it through apt-get install isn't exactly gonna work.

I am sure you could get proftpd to work if you don't mind editing
text-based config files -- then you would have anonymous logins.

That requires you to create each user account as accounts, thus showing up at the log-in screen, and having multiple profiles, thus making this approach very clunky for my purposes. Also, The instructions on Ehow.com say to go to system preferences, choose "Sharing" and look for "FTP sharing" or "FTP Server" something like that, but I do not see that anywhere in the services table. That is an idea though provided I could find this missing option and chose to use only one or two user accounts.
