You need to create your own startup script in order to make wu-ftpd work. I suggest following an example from another port. And, although normally I wouldn't do this, I can't send this reply in good conscience without warning you about wu-ftpd's horrid security record. People have even coined a phrase about Wu-FTPd's security record: "Providing remote root since at least 1994." ProFTPD isn't much better, either. I strongly recommend you either use the FTP daemon that ships with FreeBSD or install something with a better record, like PureFTPD.
