Hello,

I cannot speak to your specific problem because I have not run proftp. 
Instead I would point you at vsftp. vsftp is a light weight ftp server 
available via synaptic/apt-get.

I was able to find a lot of sample config files on the web and had very 
little trouble setting it up.

Good luck which ever direction you go!
