You do not need a LAMP stack and I would strongly advice against its installation. A usual security rule is to run only as much software as required.
That you need is a FTP server. Install Ubuntu and configure FTP server as described here, for instance. Alternatively you can choose some other from many available FTP servers, free and commercial.
