1) I first got it going by using the command line in a terminal window. For another reason, I happenned to be in root. I connected and was able to log in after clicking past the warning message about the unknown key and putting in my username and password. Later on, I discovered how to do this with gftp, also from root. Later on, when I tried to do this with my username, I couldn't get in, getting a message that the key couldn't be identified or something - so, my first question is, is it a good idea to be logging in as root, and if not, how do get past the warning?
2) Currently, I have the following two rules in iptables for ftp - do I really need the second?
#to allow SSH
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
#to allow ftp?
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state RELATED -j ACCEPT
