FTP not connecting, but correct host, username and password. Can ping host.

Hi,
any help on why I cannot access the host via FTP?
I've double checked the webmin configuration username and password, which is then entered into FileZilla.
The port 21 is forwarded to the host.
I can ping the host.

It was working a week ago, however after a reinstall it won't work?

Hi,
an ftp-daemon is on a normal installation not installed. ftp is unsecure!

I guess your ftp-daemon isn't running?!

Look on the console with

# netstat -an | grep -i listen   
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:111             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN     
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:85            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN

tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN     
tcp6       0      0 :::443                  :::*                    LISTEN     
tcp6       0      0 :::8006                 :::*                    LISTEN

With an running ftp-daemon, you must have an open port 21 (if running on default port).
