If you want to keep the FTP service internal, then get a router and don't forward the port you are using (probably 21). If you do this only the computers behind the router (your LAN) will be able to access this FTP server. You can use the LAN IP address of the server to access it.
But a more cost effective and secure way of having a local FTP server is to install a second NIC in to your systems and run everything through a switch using a non-routable IP format. That way global bandwidth utilization is not taken up and there is no traffic going out in the direction of the global Internet.
Just my 2 cents...
