What you are describing sounds like your computer has been hacked, not
just "ftp".  Since you have no way to know what the cracker has changed in
your computer, it won't help to replace ftp; they'll just come in again
and do what they want.  The normal approach when a computer has been
broken into is to replace the entire system -- reload RedHat 7.1, then
install all the updates, one of which is wu-ftpd-2.6.1-16.7x.
