I am trying to activate the ftp service on our FreeNAS, but I keep getting

Dec  5 15:44:20 Wheelhouse NAS notifier:  - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf'
Dec  5 15:44:20 Wheelhouse NAS root: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd: WARNING: failed to start proftpd
Dec  5 15:44:20 Wheelhouse NAS notifier: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/proftpd: WARNING: failed to start proftpd

I haven't touched proftpd.conf -- can I delete it? Or is there a default version I can replace it with?
