I know this isn't what you want to hear, but wu-ftpd is supposed to be
less secure than pro-ftp. I use proftp.

Do sftp username@ipaddy.
Also, you can use scp
scp filetocopy username@ipaddy_destination:newfilename
The best thing about ssh utils, besides not broadcasting passwds in
cleartext like ftp does, is you don't need a passwd if you used
ssh-keygen.
You need to have sshd running and bound to (its default) port 22.
Good luck.
