you secure it by:
rpm -e wu-ftpd
wget <favorite FTP server here><correct path here>/proftpd*.rpm
rpm -ihv proftpd*.rpm
Either edit /etc/proftpd.conf and set it to ServerType standalone or make sure you
have the appropriate entries in <x>inted{.conf|.d}
Seriously. ProFTPd is generally the best for your type of situation (and it's Free
Software).
