First, you must have a FTP client, that supports SSH. (firefox has a great plugin, FireFTP, that does this. Or sftp, in standard repositories of most distros.)
Then, you have to be able to login to the server, that is, you must have a system account, that you can login through SSH.
Then, you should edit your /etc/ssh/sshd_config and comment out the line
Code:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

and add
Code:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

instead.
Then, restart your sshd:
Code:
/etc/init.d/ssh restart

Restart your ftp daemon, just in case.
Cross your fingers, and try to login (through port 22, since you are login in through SSH).
