Firstly make sure ftp is defined in /etc/inetd
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.ftpd -l -a
then check and make sure the binary is in place.

Port 21 is for ftp connections port 20 is for ftp-data, check those
in /etc/services
Check also what your system logs are saying when you try to ftp to
that machine, possably in /var/log*, check /etc/syslog.conf to see
just where and which file is used, i presume mandrake uses that same
files as Redhat which are the ones i have quoted.
