[plug] re: ftp

I need to clarify my understanding of FTP.
1) it can be setup to only allow users with an account on the server access, and the access they would get would be their home directory.
2) #1 would also be correct if one does not install anonftp??
3) if I want every tom, dick and harry to have access I need to add anonftp??? and the client version.
4) is FTP installed by default when installing Linux RH62?
5) I have to change permission on the users home directory to 755 or is that already set by default (I do not want the users to be able to go anywhere except in their home directories).

I'm not to clear on the control access option (eg the ftpaccess file). Any advice in that area such as the usual defaults.

Thanks (hate being a newbie, but gotta start somewhere)
