You can setup anonymous ftp which will ask for a user name and password which can be ftp and ftp. But it is generally restricted to a specific directory. A better technique is to use a .netrc file which has the hostname, login and password stored in the file. Then ftp will connect immediately. This method is specific to a user on the local system.

The best method is to use scp which is part of Secure Shell. This requires that you install ssh on both systems, then share a public key.

If you want "more" use a combination of PROFTPD on server side and CURL on client side.
You will get what want you asked AND you can also set up an ssl encripted ftp (ftps).
