have you installed an ftp-daemon like wuftpd? Check it with
rpm -qi wuftpd
If you want to
use it you have to replace the following line in /etc/services:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd
with:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd wu.ftpd
Then you have to send a HUP to inetd (kill(8)) or restart.
Good luck!
