Try

   netstat -lntp|grep 21

to discover what it could be running.
It could be vsftpd or maybe xinetd.

Best regards.

Looks like proftpd is already using it.
I'm running proftpd from the SU command line, that is the way to start, isn't it ?

I didn't ask the right question. I didn't realise that proftpd was a Backend App.
I should ask about what is the best Frontend app. to use ?
