You need to create your own startup script in order to make wu-ftpd
work. I suggest following an example from another port.

And, although normally I wouldn't do this, I can't send this reply in
good conscience without warning you about wu-ftpd's horrid security
record. People have even coined a phrase about Wu-FTPd's security
record: "Providing remote root since at least 1994." ProFTPD isn't much
better, either. I strongly recommend you either use the FTP daemon that
ships with FreeBSD or install something with a better record, like
PureFTPD.
