Secret to FTP?

My machine has a hostname, but I did try changing it
to see if that made any difference. It didn't.

When I try to FTP to my CS 1.2.1 machine from another
Linux box (from a command line), this is what I get:

Connected to 209.xx.xx.xx.
421 Service not available, remote server has closed
connection
ftp>

If I try to connect to the CS 1.2.1 machine from
Anarachie, it just says "Opening Connection"
indefinitely.

Obviously there is something that I haven't enabled,
but I'm outta ideas of where to look.

I solved this by giving the machine a hostname in my
/etc/conf file:

127.0.0.0 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.77.21 myYDLMachineName
