The check_command in the *host* definition, not the service definition. Is this a Windows 2008 FTP server? If so, Win2008 disables pings out of the box, and a custom rule must be added to the Windows Firewall to allow ICMP ECHOREQ.
Or use a check_command that would indeed show the correct status of the host. Do *not* blindly disable the Windows Firewall to "fix" this, if this is what's going on.
