You would have to use putty as far as i know to connect. then VI the "proftpd.conf" file in your /etc/ directory.

There are two additions you can make to this config:

1) ServerName "Blue68f100's FTP"
--This would show to connecting users as:
Connected to IP.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.9 Server (Blue68f100's FTP) [Hostnamehere]

2) ServerIdent on "Blue68f100's FTP"
--This would show to connecting users as:
Connected to IP.
220 Blue68f100's FTP

This 2nd way is more for the security oriented to be honest (as it doesn't show hostnames and proftpd version)

but as i warned in my first post, if you modify this file, please be sure to back it up to something like proftpd.conf.blue68f100. this (if you're unfamiliar with it) is done via the cp (copy) command.

cp /etc/proftpd.conf /etc/proftpd.conf.blue68f100 -- if you're not in the etc dir...and
cp proftpd.conf proftpd.conf.blue68f100 -- if you are in the etc dir
