/usr/libexec/ftpd is not something you are expected to run directly from
the command-line. It should work MUCH better if you use inetd(8) to
launch it.
Try reading up on inetd(8) and inetd.conf(5) a bit:
man inetd
man inetd.conf
Then edit /etc/inetd.conf to match your preferred ftpd setup, and start
inetd (or restart it, if it's already running).
