 It should work right? Because it isn't. And I need this to work for a boot
 stiffy I'm building.

Does quoting the 21 help at all?

OT: getservbyname and getservbyport

If I was to change

sp = getservbyname (ftp, tcp);

to 

sp = getservbyport (21, tcp);

It should work right? Because it isn't. And I need this to work for a boot
stiffy I'm building.

The port number is given in network byte order. My guess is you'll need:

  sp = getservbyport (htonl (21), tcp);
