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.

Patrick O'Reilly.
