proftpd is an ftp server daemon. I have one running on each of my Linux 
machines. It's supposed to be better and more secure than wu-ftpd.

All I did on my system was install telnetd (sudo apt-get install 
telnetd), and it worked. I was able to telnet on to my computer from my 
wife's. I would assume that it wouldn't be too different from Debian 
Woody or Sarge, but I haven't tried it.
