To set up anonymous ftp you create an ftp user with vipw.  Then you 
need to create the directory structure inside the ftp user's home 
directory to go with it.  All this is documented in good detail in 
the ftpd man page.

If Marco wants to set up named ftp only then I would recommend he 
look at ssh instead.  Since he's outside the US he doesn't need to 
worry about the RSA patent issues, and he can use NiftyTelnet ssh's 
scp function from the MacOS side if needed.

There have been some security issues identified with the wu-ftpd 
software that NetBSD uses and I would advise Marco to check that he 
is running a version of NetBSD that includes the 20000708-ftpd patch 
first.  See <http://www.netbsd.org/Security/> for more information.

Good luck.
