Frankly, it seems like a lot of work for not much gain. There are a lot of free ftp server software available, filezilla server just to mention one.

You just run the server on your machine.

If you are behind a router you however have to give the server the public ip address and some ports to use for passive FTP transfers. You also have to setup router to forward port 21 traffic and some (selected by you) ports for passive ftp.

I think a little clarification for the OP might be good.

FTP itself stands for file transfer protocol. FTP itself is not a server nor a machine, it is only a protocol (method) of how files are transfered between a server and a client. The transfers can also be secure but take longer. Almost all web servers which you can purchase hosting on have FTP access already. If you are planning on building your own web server, then you will need FTP server software. As already stated, there are many freeware versions out there. There is no need to build your own unless you see features that are missing from every freeware package.

another good free one is jscape server. it's platform independent and supports both ftp/ftps, has remote admin support and is free (Community Edition)
