Beth:

I use pure-ftpd. I've found this ftp server to be the easiest and most 
secure to set-up for Redhat systems.  Go to:

http://www.pureftpd.org/

The Redhat binary (rpm) version can be downloaded here:

ftp://ftp.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/releases/binaries/redhat/

You'll probably want the "i686" version.

Install the rpm package (you'll need to be root to do this):

# rpm -Uvh pure-ftpd-1.0.19-1.i686.rpm

And that's it.
