It is easy to setup linux machine as FTP server.
on the command prompt
# ntsysv
choose any of ftp service i.e. gsftp or wuftp or vsftp
( it is supposed that ftp rpm are installed into your linux machine. if they are not installed then u hv to install the respective rpm from the Installation CD)
#service vsftpd start
now your machine is ready to listen ftp request

check that if there is not firewall rule is set to block the ftp request
hope this will help u.

To access ftp from client, create  a normal linux user and you can access by that user from any client giving host as Ip of the linux machine and user / pass as you have given for that user.
