If running a Debian box try this site, very good How To!

I would advise against external FTP server unless extremely necessary, 
(ssh -sftp), internal behind a firewall OK. If it is necessary have a 
look at this program instead of proftpd, www.pureftpd.org again 
especially if running a Debian box, also look into SSL/TLS running this 
server.

Nope, but insight into postgresql with above link.

Yes it is understandable with many reasons why each problem is 
happening, so I have supplied alternatives with options and relative 
information hopefully this will lead you into path of self discovery 
and success? Google is very much your friend, and in most cases each 
distribution will pretty much setup each package in a workable 
condition, modify diligently.
