I have Red Hat Enterprise installed on one machine. I use another windows based machine to ftp to this machine and trasnfer some files. VSFTDP is configured on the server. These days I am facing one problem. When I try to ftp this machine sometimes it allows me but many times it gives the message "connection refused". Moreover after making the connectionw when i start transfer of files after somtimes the conenction gets disconnected and "connection reset by the peer" message is displayed. Any ideas where the problem can be. Firewall is totally disabled.

Have you started the VSFTPD as a service. Check using
chkconfig --list
and confirm that the VSFTPD is listed as a service and is running.
Yea the service is started. Moreover it allows me to make the connection and also start the transfer of files. But after sometimes connection is reset and message is displayed "connection reset by the peer"
No other firewalls - Cisco PIX or Checkpoint or like that ?
Connection reset by peer often means your network connection has a problem and the FTP session was destroyed. It can also occur when you exceed quota or some other permissions issue on the server. I would check your vsftpd config, and check the linux error logs first (its easier). After that look carefully at your network.
In my experience very large FTP, or very slow FTP transfers can be broken by firewalls timing out the TCP connection. But if you don't have any... that is not he problem here.
