Re: FTP Server
sftp is secure ftp, part of ssh. If you are using good ftp programs they will support sftp. If they do not you should get new ftp clients.

Re: FTP Server
The number of ftp daemons installed makes no difference to ssh. For security reasons I would recommend that you remove them, unless youhave them properly configured and need them.
sudo aptitude install opsnssh-server
will get the ssh daemon and sftp and scp installed on your system. All of them will connect to your server through port 22.
If you get a free dynamic dns from dyndns.org, run
sudo aptitude install ddclient
and configure it to update. Forward port 22 to you kubunut box. Install winscp and putty on your windows machine adn from anywhere in the world, anytime, even after your internet gets a new ip address you can run connect to home from windows, copy files to and from home, run commands on your home computer from your windows computer, securely.
Then install and configure denyhosts and watch the number of people who try to break in.
