Hi,

I stand and sit here corrected.  Thanks.  Yes, as long as Remote Login is 
enabled in the Sharing pane of System Prefs, sftp is a viable option.  Sorry 
for leading you down a garden path.

Apple has decided to stop supporting FTP because it is miserably insecure. You 
can enable SFTP easily by turning on "remote login" in your sharing preferences.

If for some reason you're genuinely forced to use FTP (again, not recommended) 
there may be a linux-style FTP server floating around in homebrew. A cursory 
glance suggests there are several.

If you're transferring files on a local network there are plenty of other 
options as well.
