Thanks to all who responded to my original question.
(1) It has the option of being a Daemon. I just want on-off connection. 
(2) I invoke this server "pure-ftpd" from a su Dolphin; quit with a 
Ctrl-C.  The client, Filezilla, was not connecting.  At the time I did 
not realize it included a basic "pure-ftpd.conf" that needed to be 
included in calling up the server.  Filezilla then made a connection: 
Tumbleweed was connected to LEAP 15.6.

Now, the next problem: the server (pure-ftpd) is on LEAP and Client 
Filezilla is on Tumbleweed
(1) Client Filezilla on Tumbleweed (LocalSite) shows from "/" the whole 
filesystem & filestructure
(2) Server "pure-ftpd" is (Remote site) on LEAP computer. The call for 
the local filesystem starts with "/" root directory.  It yields "empty"
(3) I know it is protecting the protecting the Remote file system, but I 
am same user (administrator), same password on both computers. I can't 
figure out how to get the Remote site (LEAP) to open any directories 
since "/" comes up as empty.
(a) Permissions for "/" are owned by root (me, both cpu's), Read rites 
are for users and others.  I ran both server and client under su 
Dolphin. No change
(b) What I need to do is temporarily gain permissions for the remote 
site LEAP somehow from Tumbleweed or suspend all permissions on LEAP 
temporarily so the "/" directory will be revealed.
(c) If I reverse Local and Remote sites (Tumbleweed Remote as server and 
LEAP as client under filezilla, The Remote connects and successfully 
downloads "/" on Tumbleweed as an empty directory.

I need someone with more wisdom on this than me. I know I could run 
files between the two with a flash drive, but prefer FTP if possible.
