 Proftp normally configures itself - just make them users on your
 machine, put them in the same group as the home directory for the files
 you want to share with them, give that directory group read permissions,
 and you're up and running.

 Well, you create the password when you create the user.

 Nope. Just make sure your firewalls etc are in order.
