Connection refused most probably mean that ftp server is running but, firewall or tcpwrapper is blocking your access.

So check firewall
iptables -L
check
/etc/hosts.allow
and
/etc/hosts.deny

Shalom,

iptables -F flushes and clears the firewall.

tail -f /var/log/messages or secure on the target server and try. If you see nothing, firewall issue. If you see something check telnet setup

Consider replacing telnet/ftp with ssh/sftp

What ftp server did you install?
Is it the vsftpd?
if so you must start the service with:
service vsftpd start

If the ftp server you've installed is a part of xinetd services, then you must restart the xinetd service with:
service xinetd restart

Anyway vsftp comes on the installation CD.
