Instalation FTP (vsftpd):
sudo apt-get install vsftpd
in the file /etc/vsftpd.conf find setting for vsftpd.
You can find setting for enable anonymous, allow log in from local users, enable any form off FTP write command, enable upload files from anonymous users etc:
sudo mcedit /etc/vsftpd.conf
if you don't install mcedit, you can use "nano" or you can install it:
sudo apt-get install mcedit
after restart vsftd:
sudo service vsftpd restart

You can connect through SFTP protocol (for example FileZilla). I recommend it.

FTP with Raspberry Pi - anonymous user
make directory:
sudo mkdir /var/ftp
the directory has to have owner (now root), it changes to "pi" user:
sudo chown pi /var/ftp

edit the file vsftpd.conf
open the file:
sudo mcedit /etc/vsftpd.conf
if you don't install mcedit, you can use "nano" or you can install it:
sudo apt-get install mcedit
in the file vsftpd.conf uncomment and change:
anonymous_enable=YES anon_upload_enable=NO
and add this row:
anon_root=/var/ftp
after it have to restart vsftpd:
sudo service vsftpd restart

FTP with Raspberry Pi - ftp user
make directory:
sudo mkdir /var/ftp
make new user (-d makes /home for user):
sudo useradd -d /var/ftp
make password for user:
sudo passwd ftp-user
change owner from root to ftp-user /var/ftp
sudo chown ftp-user /var/ftp

if you want to remove/delete this user, you can follows:
sudo deluser ftp-user
