You have to create a 'ftp' user if you're going to support anonymous
ftp. Do that using the usual system tools, eg:
pw groupadd -n ftp -g 21
pw useradd -n ftp -u 21 -c "Anonymous FTP" -d /home/ftp
which sets the anonymouse ftp area to /home/ftp. Read and follow
carefully the instructions in the ftpd(8) man page about how to set up
that area --- if you don't do it right you can open up a security hole
a mile wide.

See ftpd.conf(5), ftpchroot(5) and ftpusers(5) man pages, but
essentially you need to add:
anonymous allow
ftp allow
to /etc/ftpusers, and add:
limit guest 100
to /etc/ftpd.conf, which will limit you to 100 concurrent anonymous
ftp users (Create the file if it doesn't exist already).
Cheers,
Matthew
