http://www.tac.eu.org/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ftpd+8
or
man ftpd

ftpd has options in /etc/ftpd.conf that allow you to chroot, set umask,
set bandwidth caps, allow anonymous users, and more.

The way to make a user for anonymous use is to add a line like so:
ftp:*:92:92::0:0:Anonymous FTP:/usr/ftp:/sbin/nologin

to your /etc/master.passwd (then pwd_mkdb -p /etc/master.passwd).

I think that should help!
