Dave,
it depends on your Unix kind. In AIX you would use "startsrc -s ftpd" on some other versions you have to send the HUP signal to the inetd.
Also make sure that the ftpd is configured correctly. e.g. ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd
A lot of administrative task depends on the plattform you are using. Thats the reason why on the previous page was a readme which told you to specify your OS.
Ok I know reading is not so nice, but it can help.... sometimes :-))

Dave,
check that the ftpd is configured in /etc/inetd.conf
Entry should be: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.ftpd in.ftpd
You can restart the ftpd with an ps -ef |grep inetd
kill -HUP PID_of_inetd
But this should only be nessecary if you have to edit the /etc/inetd.conf
Check if your user id is listet in /etc/ftpuser. If yes ask your system admin to remove the entry.
