You cant login as root its unsafe to do that. You need to make another user and login with that sudo adduser username then it will prompt you for a pw. Make sure vsftpd is installed you can install it by doing sudo apt-get install vsftpd. You may also need to edit settings in /etc/vsftpd.conf to make it so you can send and recieve files for the user.

You are using a editor called nano not vim. If you want to exit out and save you have to press CTRL + X then follow what it says on the bottom.

EDIT: oops I didn't notice the timestamp on the last response.
