Why not install an alternative ftp package. e.g vsftpd.
I'm probably missing something simple here,but there isn't a single tutorial on how to set it up,at least I couldn't find it.
When trying to connect with Flash FXP all I get is 'Connection failed (Connection refused)'
In the first try I formatted the hdd on the pc,I read that the router sometimes have trouble with that,so I followed a tutorial on how to format it creating a swap partition(it's an 500gb HDD),it seemed to go well.I have the last OLEG firmware,and formatted it over Putty.
I don't plan to use FTP over WAN,just LAN,so I don't need to forward any ports,do I?All I changed on the FTP config page is to Allow Super User and disable anonymous access.

I switched to DD-WRT firmware,now it's working fine.

in oleg you need to set the directories manually in the webconfig.
eg:
these directories need to be manually created!PHP Code:
Public Directory: /tmp/harddisk/ftp/pub
Private Directory: /tmp/harddisk/ftp/private
Anonymous Directory: /tmp/harddisk/ftp/anon
Directory Listings: enabled
also for additional private users you must make separate folders in the private folder named with the username.
so if you have a user john:
easy as thatmkdir /tmp/harddisk/ftp/private/john
