Is the ftp deamon running on the server?

in addition to making sure the ftp daemon is running, if you are behind a router, make sure you forward port 21 to your server machine

In addition to what others have said, did you read what you posted??

You are aware that SCP isn't the same thing as FTP, right?? SCP uses port 22 over SSH. FTP doesn't, and needs it's own port (21), and it's own server daemon (like ProFTP, vsFTPD, etc.). So saying it's working over SCP doesn't provide many clues.
