Look more carefully. What you're seeing is something listening on the UDP port (not TCP port) for tftp (not ftp). That would be UDP:69, not TCP:21.
As James pointed out, you installed tftpd, not a full-blown FTP server. The usual use for tftpd is to support network booting of diskless devices. I don't think that's what you want. Go back to your installation media (it will be on UnitedLinux disk 1, which would be the second CD of the set) and install vsftpd.

Are you running ipchains? Also are you logging in as 'root'? Most FTP servers are default-configured to prevent root from ftping.

I got "Connection refused". I started the server using: /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l command (I didn't find a in.ftpd command) so in.tftpd server is up and running. I didn't set up any security level for my local network, and even when I ftp open the Linux ip address from inside the Linux server I got "Connection refused". Its ip addr. is able to ping from anywhere on my local network, and it's using port 21 for FTP. Any suggestions??? Thank you.
