By default ftp access is inhibited for most special users as determined by the 
login names listed in /etc/ftpusers

Removing root from the list should, I imagine, allow you to do what you want.
BUT these names are in the list for very good reason -- removing any of them 
makes it that much easier for some nasty to get in and seriously corrupt your 
system. I suggest you don't go down this path.
