Niki, if the machine isn't on the internet, then you don't really need to
worry about the security :)

But, to answer the question, do this:

in the /etc/vsftpd.conf, change anonymous_enable to NO

Taken from man vsftpd.conf:

       anonymous_enable
              Controls  whether  anonymous  logins are permitted or not. If
enabled, both the usernames ftp and anonymous are recognised as
              anonymous logins.

              Default: YES



I'm not sure if you can only allow a single user to access it though
