FTP Connection Refused

Help! (Home for newbies)

Hi,

I’ve just fresh install virtualmin on my server. And I’ve set everything up smoothly, until I get connection refused.

I’ve added webftp server via edit users and make sure the proftpd service is started. I’ve got no clue what’s going on.
And then when I get to my server and put this command :
netstat -tulpn | grep :21

and

netstat -a | grep ftp

There are no ftp service listed as running, and then I go to webmin try to look for the service it shows that the proftpd is started.

Can someone explain to me what is going on?

Thank you for your time.
