Colin,

I happen to like vsftpd as suggested by Alexander.
You should also know that there are additional ftp choices.
One important one to consider is sftp/sftp-server:

For example sftp
   $ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/sftp
   openssh-clients-3.6.current-version
   $ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
   openssh-server-3.6.current-version

And in sshd_config setup you can 
   # override default of no subsystems
   Subsystem       sftp    /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server

You should do some additional package searching so you
understand why we recommend vsftpd and also why most
of us turn off almost all forms of ftp and block ftp at
our firewall.
