I would imagine the ftp server would have a log, e.g.
/var/log/vsftpd.log.  Others to look at would be messages, syslog,
auth.log, and daemon.log.  Another thing to try would be to attempt to
connect to the Debian box and then type 'ls -latr /var/log/' on the
Debian box.  Those logs that were modified most recently will appear at
the bottom of the list.

Actually, it might be better to back up a bit and cover some basic
questions:

- are both machines on the same network? (ifconfig)
- can they see each other? (ping)
- is an ftp server running? (ps)
- can you connect to it from the localhost? (ftp localhost)
- is the port open? (netstat)
