It should be disable=no, and tftp is not the ftp server, to enable the ftp server use:

service vsftpd start
chkconfig vsftpd on

You cannot access with root for security reasons, use another user account.

You don't have installed the package, use system-config-packages to add the ftp server, or find the vsftpd rpm package in the cdrom and run:

rpm -ivh vsftpd-.rpm

Then run again the commands above.
