# Inetd reads its configuration information from this file upon execution
# and at some later time if it is reconfigured.
#
# A line in the configuration file has the following fields separated by
# tabs and/or spaces:
#
# service name as in /etc/services
# socket type either "stream" or "dgram"
# protocol as in /etc/protocols
# wait/nowait only applies to datagram sockets, stream
# sockets should specify nowait
# user name of user as whom the server should run
# server program absolute pathname for the server inetd will
# execute
# server program args. arguments server program uses as they normally
# are starting with argv[0] which is the name of
# the server.

#
# For example:

# The above entry allows the following hosts to attempt to access your system

# the host by the name of "ahost",

# Hosts and network names must be official names, not aliases.

Please check whether FTP os permitted in /etc/inetd.conf
If strong with ftp is commented out, uncomment it and restart inetd:
Find PID of inetd and kill -1 its PID
