If you are going to run sshd, then forget the FTP server and just use
scp/sftp instead. Much easier to setup firewall rules for, and the
traffic is encrypted, so your login password doesn't go over the net in
clear text.
There are free Windows clients as well, if that is a consideration,
I have found that WinSCP3 is quite good.
