Open a terminal window.
Install vsftpd. Vsftpd is the daemon, or server, that users will connect to. To install vsftpd, type 'sudo apt-get install vsftpd.' Ubuntu will ask for your password. Follow the on screen instructions to install the server.
Edit the configuration, or conf, file. To do this, browse to '/etc' using the Nautilus file browser. Nautilus is the default file browser on most Ubuntu installations. Find 'vsftpd.conf' and double-click on the file.
Enable or disable anonymous access. Anonymous access allows people to access your server by simply giving you their email address. If anonymous access is disabled, you will need to create an account for each person who you wish to access your FTP server.
Set the location for the root of the FTP file structure. This setting is controlled by 'secure_chroot_dir' in the vsftpd.conf file.
Restart the FTP server by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart.'
Place the files you want to share in the FTP root.
