okay - i'm not at all familiar with your particular Linux Operating System but as you suspect it's highly likely that your FTP deamon service is not installed or not running.

as it's RPM based i'm assuming it's a red hat derivative and from the list above that you've given i personally would start by installing the ftp 0.17 rpm.

when it's installed i'd look in somewhere like /etc/xinetd.d (can't remember exactly)for a file related to FTP (possibly called in.ftp or similar) take a look at the file, and see if there's an enable=yes|no directive. if there is ensure that it's enabled.

restart the inetd service and make sure you can ftp localy ie ftp localhost if all is okay it should connect.
