All i/o (ftp) not working on this SunOS 5.10

Hi everyone: I have been trying to simply FTP a file over to this SunOS 5.10 (which is same as Solaris 10 now) and nothing works!

I can only Telnet to this via SSH (with my own account/uid), and I can also send simple mail out with mailx, that's all!!!

I cannot FTP to it (I think FTP server is not installed/enabled on it? ) "ps -fe" and grep for ftp does not return anything...

I do not want to involve the sysadmin/root on this at all, but is there any way I can check to see how I can ftp? Or even upload my own FTP to this and launch server?
It's been killing me!

As a Last resort, can a Binary file be copied and pasted without losing it's binary data?? ( I highliy doubt this!), but if there are any "special" copy/paste programs to preserve binary, then I can do that, but this is really last last option.

Thanks,
Steve.

NAME
ftp - FTP client configuration file SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ftp DESCRIPTION
Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and are ignored. Behavior Directives The ftp file supports the following behavior directives: FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default. If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is specified in /etc/default/ftp. ATTRIBUTES
