Yes, the error message says, your format is wrong.
'man ftphosts' states;
allow <username> <addrglob> [<addrglob> ...]
Only allow host(s) matching <addrglob> to log in as <username>.
It also gives an example;
The <addrglob> may be also be specified as address/cidr or address:netmask.
For example:
10.0.0.0/8 or 10.0.0.0:255.0.0.0
If you were to comment out or delete your line in /etc/ftphosts you should hten
be able to login.
If you still have problems a need to restart the inetd process maybe nessacary,
see the top of /etc/inetd.conf on howto do that.
