Is the standard ftpd included with FreeBSD not good enough? I have
never found a need to use any other personally.
It is at /usr/libexec/ftpd , and you will find it is referenced by
default in /etc/inetd.conf. If you want to enable it, just remove the
leading # on the line, and do:
# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
See man ftpd for more info.
