There are many programs you can use. The easiest I've found was BulletProof FTP. You do have to pay for it but it's AWESOME.

I would personally go with ProFTPD, which should run on a Windows platform (if I remember correctly). The setup instructions should be with the install package (just Google for it). Apache is the HTTPD service, so it will run independently. After the install of ProFTPD, there may be an Apache directive that needs to be set up (it has been a while), but all of that should be included in the directions.

Unless there's another project by the same name, ProFTPD does not work on Windows. And I would strongly recommend against using it. It's slower, larger and less secure then other FTP daemons. PureFTPD is recommended over ProFTPD.

For Windows, you can use FileZilla Server or BulletProof FTP.
