If the host machine doesn't respond to FTP clients at all, then the
FTP daemon is not installed correctly, or at all. Refer to the manual

This type of problem may also be caused a failure to resolve the host
addresses properly, especially if using Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol (RARP). The simple answer to this is to list all relevant
host names and IP addresses in the <filename>/etc/hosts</filename>
files on each machine. ( Refer to the example
<filename>/etc/hosts</filename> and
<filename>/etc/resolv.conf</filename> files in: ``<xref
linkend="sendmail-pause" endterm="sendmail-pause">.'') If the network
has an internal DNS, make sure that each host can resolve network
addresses using it.
