To test your FTP program you could simply use the sftp protocol and point it to your localhost.

For example, in nautilus you would go to Connect to Server and enter the location sftp://localhost. Just enter your login info and you will be automatically taken to your home directory. Now, this also applies for the usage of your ftp program. Make sure it supports sftp.
