Help setting up FTP and Ping to my Linux Lite machine

[bitsnpcs]

You wrote you rebooted after disabling the UFW, did you check the UFW status after rebooting to see if UFW was enabled again on reboot ?
for the command

Code:

sudo ufw allow ftp

it needs to say

Code:

sudo ufw allow port-number-here

Replacing port-number-here with the actual port number.
for example 20, 21, 990, 40000, 50000 as per the tutorial (second link)
