From looking at the FreeNAS website it looks like all this is, is a simple file sharing server. Something like Apache, but with fewer options and mods. As to whether this will act as an FTP here is the answer:

Also, something to thing about is that this isn't even in the RC stages yet so you are going to run into problems, some that might crash the server.
If you are looking to run an FTP server you might want to look into GProftpd, or Proftpd. These are really easy to set up and they both work with FreeBSD, and Linux.
Cheers!
