ftp server must be running if you get a prompt. Instead it sounds like an
authorization problem. Check that you have a file /etc/pam.d/ftp that looks
something like this:
#%PAM-1.0
auth optional /lib/security/pam_ftp.so
auth optional /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny
file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth optional /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth optional /lib/security/pam_shells.so
account optional /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session optional /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
Above is very permissive. You may prefer:
#%PAM-1.0
auth required /lib/security/pam_listfile.so item=user sense=deny
file=/etc/ftpusers onerr=succeed
auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth required /lib/security/pam_shells.so
account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
session required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so
which does not allow root to log in remotely. Also check your /etc/hosts.allow
and /etc/hosts.deny files, and whether you can ftp locally (on the same host)

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] can get my ftp to accept me.
Red Hat 6.2 with ftp server on and seemingly set up correctly (I cannot
locate an error).
This is all on my internal network behind the firewall.
ftp connects and ask for user and password, and log in fails every time.
