BTW, asking "how to secure ftp" begs the question of whether you should be using sftp or an https service. Securing a file access system by sending passwords in the clear on the net is not very secure. All network protocols 'transfer files', and ftp is one of the oldest (and most variable). sftp is really ssh/scp under the covers accepting ftp command interface. The online articles on how to configure ssh for sftp only might be better, since they are more recent and support a more sane path !
