I use WFTPD Pro for this:

http://www.wftpd.com/

It's by no means the only one out there, but when we were mandated to
provide secure FTP for some transfers we looked at FTP Serv-U and
WSFTP Server, and WFTPD Pro won out. I think most have trial
versions you can test.

I liked Ipswitch's WSFTP Server, but it was $500 or so for our needs.
I got burned with FTP Serv-U when I bought a "lifetime" license with
free upgrades, they went to a tiered licensing and our cost would have
risen dramatically. WFTPD Pro fit within the budget and worked
perfectly.
