If you receive ftp: connection refused errors, then the problem is likely due to a lack of authentication. Refer to Why Won My FTP or Telnet Server Allow Logins?.
One remedy is to be replacing the distribution FTP server with the Linux port of the OpenBSD FTP server. The home page is: http://www.eleves.ens.fr:8080/home/madore/programs/. To install the BSD server, follow the installation instructions, and refer to the manual pages for inetd and inetd.conf. (If you have the newer xinetd, see below.) Be sure to tell inetd to run the BSD daemon alone, not as a subprocess of, for example, tcpd. Comment out the line that begins ftp in the /etc/inetd.
