anyone here ever setup an ftp server on their mac?

I’d like to give a few friends ftp access to some folders on my iMac, but I can’t figure out how.  
I’m behind a router so I guess I have to setup port forwarding?

If someone knows how to do this or know of a tutorial that explains this, please let me know.
