Looking at the port's PLIST, wu-ftpd is probably installed as
/usr/local/libexec/ftpd with sample configuration files being
/usr/local/etc/ftp*.example.
For the system ftp daemon:
man 8 ftpd
When you log in anonymously, the server chroots to the home directory
of the ftp user. This makes symlinks outside of ~ftp/ inaccessable.
