Interesting, on my server proftpd is run from inetd (xinetd) and
not from the config (chkconfig --list proftpd shows OFF for all columns)
and mine is working fine.

Check under /etc/xinetd.d for file proftpd and see if parameter
disable = no

If so, service proftpd stop, and then try testing again, you may have
been trying to bring up multiple copies.
