Hi Ed,

my question 'is it running' may be somewhat misleading.
Of course it has to run when it gets connected, but the preferred method may be letting xinetd start it on demand per incoming connect. So, is xinetd running and did xinetd get configured during installation as well?
For testing purposes, however, you may start the ftp daemon standalone.
Have a look into `top` and the process list `ps -ef ¦ grep ftp` while testing. And have a look at the logs.

Regarding the config, there are several things to check and to think of, including access policies and other security stuff.

Kind regards,
R.
