beware the windows killer?  From someone that can't get samba or ftp
working?

which Linux? which ftp? which user? where is users $HOME?

useradd -g ftp webdesigner -d /var/www/html
# means add a user webdesigner, put him in primary group ftp, make his
home directory /var/www/html (base of primary web server on Red Hat -
YMMV)

passwd webdesigner
# prompts for a password for this account

chown webdesigner /var/www/html/* -R

Then IF ftp is actually up and running, you can log in as user
webdesigner and be put directly in the /var/www/html subdirectory.

Then IF ftp is actually up and running and you can connect, you can
upload your files... from cli:
put filename  #upload single file
mput filename #upload globbed files (usually wildcard such as
              #index*
get filename  #download single file
mget filename #get globbed files - see above
