vsftpd and filezilla
ftp;vsftpd;filezilla
You can still bind it to 0.0.0.0, however you have to open the port with your firewall interface (depends, probably ufw or iptables on ubuntu). 0.0.0.0 binds to all interfaces (localhost as well as for example your ethernet interface).I recommend to search in the ubuntu documentation about firewalls.If your computer is behind a commonly configured home router and you want to make it available on the internet, you also have to set up a port forward on your router to your pc, this procedure varies from router to router.You also have to be aware of the security or legal issues of running a public ftp server, especially if you use anonymous_enable=YES.
