You need to install and configure an FTP server (vsftpd or pure-ftpd are
popular ones), and open the ports in the firewall.

Remember that there is a big difference between Active FTP (ports 21 and 20) and PASV FTP (ports 21 and a desginated high port range).

Are you using IPv6 on your local network? If you’re not, then disable it.
