I never used proftpd, but I suggest you to install wu-ftpd for a really simple
to configure ftp server, instead.
It asks you a pair of question when you install it (sudo apt-get install
wu-ftpd) and doesn't require you to do _any_ manual configuration work (at least
for common cases).
By default it allows every user on your system to have access to their home dirs
through ftp.  Of course it can also (optionally) support anonymous logins and
can automatically create the ftp user for you.

That said, this list is not meant for user support.
Please use ubuntu-users instead, or open a support token in launchpad
(https://answers.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+tickets).
