I would strongly suggest ssh and scp, you can get a windows interface for
scp called winscp2 (search winscp2.exe on google) that will make it feel
like an ftp session)

Bad idea... of the ftp daemons, wuftpd has the worst security record on
the planet...

Just add them as a user to the system, and they will be able to login via
ftp or ssh or scp.

I would suggest using scp and ssh, so just forward port 22 through the
firewall.  If you still want to use ftp, you will need to forward ports 20
and 21 through the firewall.
