Basically you have to set ACL's on folders and then turn thr FTP server on, thats it?

Yes

There is no configuration setting as to connection timeout or maximum connections or anything of that sort, is there?

No, there ar eno more settings as port, enc odung and anonymous on/off.
If You want to have more settigs, then You may want to try the PUREFTPD module, which is available on the Thecus Wiki web site

Also, once the ACL's are set, can users jump to different folders? Havent tried this one yet.

For eg, I have a folder music with username "ABC" who can access it.

If only the user ABC has access to the music folder and all others are denied, then only the user ABC cann go to that folder - however all users will se the foldername music on logon or if You have enabled anonmymous then everyone who comes in.

Then if user ABC puts this URL on his machine, (ftp on my ipaddress)

Will he see the folders that reside on my NAS? Or will he be denied access?

He will se all top level folders.

Quote:

Next is if he enters (ftp on my ipaddress/music), I am guessing he will be asked to enter "ABC" along with the password. Can he then go one level on top and see the directory structure on my NAS?

Thanks

Yes, see above
