Ankuj, 

In order to connect to any host with gsiftp:// on port 2811 (or any other 
configured port), including localhost, the host will need to be running the 
GridFTP server. From your netstat output, it doesn't appear that the service is 
running.

For testing, you can start the server from the command line with:
$GLOBUS_LOCATION/sbin/globus-gridftp-server <opts>

To configure a persistant GridFTP server, you'll probably like to start the 
service with xinetd or similar.

Please refer to the GridFTP Admin Guide documentation at 
http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/data/gridftp/admin-index.html for more 
information on configuring the GridFTP server.

If you plan to use gsi, you'll also need to configure the grid security 
environment on the machine, both for the server and for the username you're 
using. See http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/security/  regarding security 
options available with GT4.0.  

Security setup will involve at least the following steps: 
--> Deciding which Certificate Authorities (CAs) to trust, and installing the 
trust roots for those CAs. (you can use a SimpleCA setup if you'd like to sign 
and trust your own certificates)
--> Creating/obtaining a host certificate for the server machine, signed by a 
trusted CA.
--> Creating a grid-mapfile to map Distinguished Names (DNs) of authenticated 
users to local usernames
--> Creating/obtaining user certificates for the username you'd like to use and 
authenticating using either a myproxy server or pre-ws authentication 
(grid-proxy-init and related utils). 

I hope this helps you get started. :)

Cheers, 
Jamie
