You can do with proftp..

Step 1: Download Proftpd
Step 2: Go to the dir where you downloaded it `cd /dir`
Step 3: Untar the package `tar xzvf filename.tar.gz`
Step 4: Go into the new dir `cd proftpd*`
Step 5: Configure the package `./configure --prefix=/usr/local/proftpd`
Step 6: Compile & Install the package `make; make install` - u must be root for this step
Step 7: Start the ftp server `/usr/local/proftpd/sbin/proftpd`
Step 8: To uninstall the server do the following: `killall -9 proftpd; rm -rf /usr/local/proftpd`

See proftp's main site for complete documentation..

Also you can try pureftp..
See http://www.pureftpd.org/README
it has all info in details.
