By default any user configured with system access has ftp access unless you have put the username in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file.

You did not give us enough details but the basic steps are

1. The ftpd daemon (or service) must be enabled in /etc/inetd.conf?
2. Check if there are any restrictions in var/adm/inetd.sec
3. Check /etc/ftpd/access if there are any user restrictions
4. Must have a user account on the server
5. Use a ftp client to connect to the server.

Another thing that can get in the way sometimes: the user's shell, as defined in the user's passwd entry, should be a 'valid' shell defined in /etc/shells.

I've run into this issue in the past, because the very great korn shell (ksh) was not in /etc/shells by default.

Just in case..
