Well, all I know is that FTP means File Transfer Protocol it's a protocol used in order to transfer files to a webserver. Your virtual private server should already have FTP automaticly. As far as my knowledge goes.

List of DNS record types and actual web domain thingies...
ftp.yourdomain.com (File Transfer to Webserver)
mx.yourdomain.com (Mail Exchange)
www.yourdomain.com (Your domain on the World Wide Web)
yourdomain.com (Your domain without WWW zone)

It's name servers.
Hope that helps, a bit.

Perhaps you could search google for a tutorial on how to install and configurate things like that, it might be advanced stuff not quite sure how that works but anyways, google is your friend.

You do have SSH access? Then you don't really need to have FTP access.
•Download Filezilla ( http://filezilla-project.org/ )
• CTRL + S
• New Server
• Enter your IP, change server type to SFTP
• change connection type to normal and enter your SSH login details
Click ok, then connect to the server.
Should work.

If you really want to install a FTP there I suggest you to use http://www.proftpd.org/
But then we need to know which OS you are using so that we can tell you how it exactly works.

Yep. I do the SSH in PuTTy


If SSH is configured correctly, scp will be able to login proxying a term session and allow you to buffer files in and out (upload/download).

1. Download WinSCP
2. connect to your server a la port 22 (the default)
3. Enter your ssh username/password

Congrats, you now have something much better than FTP.
SCP also allows you to issue all shell commands as root during session whereas ftp restricts the set of commands to ls, cd, mv, cp, rm, chmod, chown, and the like (also no root as the user system is independent of the OS user database).
