depends what you want to do with the box. You generally run an mta (sendmail, postfix, exim etc) on linux boxes to deliver local mail. It depends if you have other needs as to whether or not you play with these thigns. I don't run ftp normally. I have been asked to setup anon-ftp occasionally - I generally think putting files on http servers works better. scp for uploading. If you have people that *need* ftp for whatever reason, then set it up I guess. rsync over ssh is the most fashionable way to be uploading files these days.
