Any log file messages?
That ftp package is the client, not server ('rpm -qi ftp' will give you
some more detailed information, 'rpm -qa | grep -i ftp' will show you all
the ftp packages). The server will be an ftpd package (probably). I think
a stock RH 6.2 system will have 'wu-ftpd-2.6.0-3' as the ftp server.
Also, on the box, type 'grep ftp /etc/inetd.conf'--does the ftpd line start
with a pound sign? If so, someone's disabled ftp connections. To
"correct" this,become root, edit the file to remove this pound sign, save
the file, and restart inetd ('/etc/rc.d/init.d/inetd restart').
And if that doesn't work, post again with more details about how it fails.
