You don't need to run DNS to run a FTP Service. All you need to do is make sure for instance that you have the following line uncommented in /etc/inetd.conf ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l -l (note the two -l's at the end for extra logging). Then just make sure that inetd is running and you'll have an FTP service. :) Try man ftpd for more information. If you don't want to use the standard FTPd, then look at some of the FTPd in the ports section or at NcFTPd (www.ncftpd.com).
