"changing permission" in English.  I get confused when you use "right", 
which can also mean 'direction' and 'correct'.

Could I also type RETR filename?

There is no reason you cannot replace the sample config file in your

I already did this but could not ping to this address.
Probably because my linux IP address is not on the same network as XP.
Can I use Windows ipconfig to change the Windows IP address instead so it 
will match that of a router?

That is why I wanted to run ftpd.
