Move any files you need out of /var/ftp to /ftp first with 'mv /var/ftp/* /ftp/.; mv /var/ftp/.* /ftp/.'
Then remove the /var/ftp directory with 'rmdir /var/ftp'
Create a soft link to the new directory with 'ln -s /ftp /var/ftp'
This way you don't need to reconfigure any software to use the new /ftp partition. The system will put things in /var/ftp which is now just a link to /ftp.
