Debian 8 server.  all updates applied.

Followed carefully the wiki.debian.org/WordPress instructions. Now
WordPress says askimet plugin needs to be updated, but that ftp fails.  I
can't update plugin without having a ftp server apparently.  Otherwise
WordPress works great.  how do I update the plugins.  wouldn't it be
dangerous to have an ftp server?  Or is there some instructions out there
for setting up a secure ftp server that works with WordPress.  I have no
experience with ftp servers.
