. Add Passive Port range 30000-350000 to your Pureftp or Proftp configuration file
(i) Pureftpd
open /etc/pure-ftpd.conf, and this line
PassivePortRange    30000 35000
(ii) ProFTP
Open /etc/proftpd.conf, and add this line
PassivePorts    30000 35000

Now there are many other things you can do, root kit hunters and log rotators and more. However depending on your needs this alone will get you off to a good start.
