Luis,

Check to make sure that the /etc/inet.conf file is properly configured...
meaning that the ftp service portion is Uncommented and that inetd knows
what service to spawn and attach an incoming ftp connection with... if that
is Uncommented make sure you have installed an FTP server...i.e. wuFTP is
std on most Linux distributions...

ummm... that is all that immediately comes to mind...
