What distro are you running on?

Go to a console in root and type


service proftpd start


see if that works.... that'd be the command for redhat anyways


You need to ask your question more throughly. Help us help you by asking your question with information that's needed, like your distro.

Every distro is different and starting the ftp deamon in slackware is going to differ from starting it on SuSe
