I had vsFTPd installed, but its a pain to setup. I downloaded ProFtp, and it looks easy enough to configure through Webmin, but when I FTP to my linux box, it's still using vsFTPd..??!! How can I tell it to ignore vsFTPd, wuFTPd, and just use my ProFTPd settings?

Take a look in /etc/inetd and look for a line that mentions vsftpd. If you comment this line and reload inetd, vsftpd won't be running anymore. Now you can configure your computer to use proftpd.
