i'm sorry i'm not clear on this, but are you able to login remotely via
ssh and/or sftp?

there's a file, /etc/ftpusers, which contains a list of users that should
_not_ be able to login via ftp.  this is where you can disable t
the 'anonymous' ftp user and preferably root.

other configuration files depend on which ftp daemon you're running and
which distro you currently have installed.  provide us with a little more
info?  :)
