You could achieve a *better* result with:

# ipkg list | grep ftp

SERVER
======
Have a look at vsftpd
http://vsftpd.beasts.org/

There are recipes for vsftpd in both oe and familiar
build trees (2.0.5 and 2.0.3 respectively) so I would
assume that it would just be a matter of

# ipkg install vsftpd

NOTE
====
If all you are attempting to do is transfer files to your
ipaq, you might want to consider ssh.
(It is possible to do scp, but you need openssh with sftp
  server enabled, rather than dropbear ... from memory).
eg.
  rather than:
  host$ scp some_file user_at_ipaq:/path/
  try
  host$ dd if=some_file | ssh user_at_ipaq -c "dd of=some_file"
  (crude, and probably a much better way;)
