How to get ftp server on apache running

I have emerged apache server with php and mod_php. All works fine but now i would have a ftp server so i emerged mod_ftpd but dont know how to make it work. I have added the line -D FTPD in /etc/conf.d/apache2 and it didnt work (i tried to open the adress that worked with http (http://dumah.dyndns.org/ but changed it to ftp (ftp://dumah.dyndns.org/). You can view it if u want - my comp stays this night on

). If i am behind a router, must i forward a TCP port to my internal ip ?

I myself have never used that module but if it translated to ftp:// then I would say yes you need to reroute port 21 to your server.

Ok thx it worked, now i can see the files and dirs but i would know how to add users and permissions for them so that i must login to an account when connecting to this ftp server.

Why not use a stand alone ftp service? ncftpd would be a quick&dirty solution.

So i emerged proftpd and it goes fine just like the mod_ftpd for apache. I read somewhere that i can use mysql to add users. But i still dont know how to configure the sql database and what must i add to the proftpd.conf file.
