ipltables: bad port number-- status
usage: ftp host-name [port]

ok.your syntax is not correct..
can you test like this ?
Code:
# service iptables status

or
Code:
# /etc/init.d/iptables status

I executed those commands and the outputs are

Code:
 
/etc/init.d/iptables status
/etc/init.d/iptables: line 46: /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config: Permission denied

$ service iptables status
-ksh: service: not found [No such file or directory]
$

what is your O.S (redhat,suse,ubuntu or other variants)
Code:
# cat /etc/*release

and
Code:
# sed -n '46p' /etc/init.d/iptables

ok it does no matter Smilie , probably in redhat, iptables is running, therefore your ftp reqests are rejected, and then you can try this

Code:
# /etc/init.d/iptables stop

after that try again..
