Check /etc/ for the file ftpshutdown (may vary). From the ftpshut man
page:
Running this command will create a file that the server
will use to determine when to shutdown. Once the shutdown
has occured, the server will continue to refuse connec-
tions until this file is removed. The location of this
file is specified by the shutdown stanza in the ftpaccess
file.
So you might check /etc/ftpaccess to see what file your system uses.
Remove the file and everything should be okay.
