In the "sharing" tab in Sys Preferences, there's a checkbox for "allow ftp access," that should allow Windoze users to ftp to your mac.

I use an ftp program such as Fetch or OsXigen and use my IP address such as,

68.9.36.100

and I type in my username and password...the same as you use to login.

Using FTP between mac and pc is sooo much better than using SMB (atleast right now it is), plus it's much easier to implement and use.

Just like tas said, turn on FTP access, and your mac is ready to go permissions and all. From the pc, use your favorite FTP program punch in your IP address of your mac, use your username and password you use to login to your mac, and that's it. Start transferring.

I haven't really FTP'd from my mac to the pc, so I can give you the steps to do that. Happy FTP'n:D
 
To ftp from your Mac to a PC, you can use the Terminal. Open a Terminal window, at the prompt, type "ftp [return]", then "open [IP address]". After that, the connection should open, and you can use the usual ftp commands such as cd, ls, get, put. Try "man ftp"! There's also a telnet application and an ssh application you can use in the Terminal. Have fun!
