Well top and ps list ftp without the 'd' on the end
as running. And ftp starts with the ftp> prompt. If
that's what you mean.
No, the ftp> prompt is for the FTP *client*. It needs a server to
connect to - the system doesn't know how to answer FTP requests just
like that. ftpd, the FTP server, needs to be running on one of the
machines, while you connect to it from the other one with ftp. If ftpd
isn't running on the target machine, then of course your connections
will be refused - there's nothing running that knows how to accept them.
I'm not familiar with Gentoo's ftpd setup, but try "/etc/init.d/ftpd
start" on the server.
