It is easy process for install FTP server on linux

#yum install vsftpd*
or
Download and install particular RPM
vsftpd-1.2.1-5.i386.rpm.

#/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
# chkconfig vsftpd on

Allow FTP port in iptables
Iptables -I INPUT -s 10.10.10.0/24 -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT

Iptables -I INPUT -s 10.10.10.0/24 -p udp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT


You can change as your requirement on vsftpd.conf file

# vim /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
