Doesn't work for me in Jaguar
I don't know if this is a Jaguar problem or not. I tried to follow the instructions faithfully. But when I try to log in as "anonymous" I get the following error:

Had the same experience - I don't think you've messed up your configuration. Something else has to be the matter, something about a default Jaguar install.

I got it to work by swapping the screwed ftpd file - however - EVERY file I upload to the incoming (drop box) is corrupt ??????

Never mind -
Now it's working
I found the solution on this page:
Now it's working
can someone provide an english version of this? yes, i tried reading it in babelfish translation and i'm getting the gist of it, but i think it's stumbling on a few of the technical parts.
You don't actually need to speak French...here's the fix
That French website offers a method of setting up the directory structure, same as the OP here. The reason the French solution works under Jaguar but not this is because it has you download an old version of the ftpd and use it to replace the Jaguar version.
1) Download the file from their server
2) After it's unstuffed, go back into your terminal. Do % sudo mv /usr/libexec/ftpd /usr/libexec/ftpd.old(this will make a backup of your old ftp daemon, which probably isn't a bad idea. If you do screw up, you can just use the mv command to rename the ftpd.old to ftpd and you'll be back to the initial setup). Enter your password if prompted.
3) Move the new file to that directory. Type % sudo mvwith a trailing space. Then drag the expanded file onto the Terminal. This will copy the path to that file. Type a space on that same line, then type /usr/libexec/ftpdHit return. 4) Now you need to restart the FTP server to make it use the new server program. Go to System Preferences:Sharing, and uncheck the "FTP Access" box. Once it's shut down (you'll see feedback on the right side of the pane), recheck it. Worked for me, hope it works for you.

After much searching I found an article that goes into detail about ftpd being broken in OS X.2 for anonymous ftp (server). So, I started searching around and found www.pure-ftpd.org and downloaded, compiled and installed it. Worked like a champ. Pure-ftpd touts itself as a fast, secure ftpd. Anyway, I then went into /etc/xinetd.conf/ftp and modified the pointer from the standard ftpd to the new pure-ftpd and changed the server arguments to better line up with pure-ftpd. It all worked perfectly. So, now when I enable or disalbe ftp through the System Preferences panel it is pure-ftpd that starts or stops.
