Well, man vsftpd:
VSFTPD(8) BSD System Managerâs Manual VSFTPD(8)
NAME vsftpd - Very Secure FTP Daemon
SYNOPSIS vsftpd [configuration file]
DESCRIPTION vsftpd is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can be launched via a âsuper-serverâ
Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case vsftpd itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is easier to use, and recommended. It is activated by setting listen=YES in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf. Direct execution of the vsftpd binary will then launch the FTP service ready for immediate client connections.
OPTIONS An optional [configuration file] may be given on the command line. This configuration file has to be owned by root. The default configu- ration file is /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.

Great. What does that say? Where are my flags? How do I issue a command to start the service? man service:
NAME service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
FILES /etc/init.d The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT LANG, TERM The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

And what exactly does that tell me? What is my command? What are my options?
Lots of stuff online? I went to several of the pages your googling revealed before posting and there wasn't anything substantial on any of them. Can you please be more specific? TIA, V

Hi; Now that it's installed, how do I start it and add a user? I can hardly believe there is *no* documentation! TIA, Victor
There is plenty documentation:
