Install Pure-FTPd

prohibit Anonymous

root@www:~# echo "yes" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/NoAnonymous

enable chroot

Apparently PureFTPd is peculiar in it's configuration method, any reason you need it in particular? In any case, the Ubuntu help site has a guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP
