Are you running an FTP server? This LISTEN does not mean the status of the
socket on the remote end. It is the status of the local side of the socket.
Therefore, if you're running an FTP server on your machine (or inetd for
that matter, that will spawn the proper ftpd), you should expect to see this
listening service on *your* side.
