You need to enable ftp in the xinetd configuration files. For example, for gssftp the configuration find /etc/xinetd.d/gssftp looks like this by default:

# default: off
# description: The kerberized FTP server accepts FTP connections \
#              that can be authenticated with Kerberos 5.
service ftp
{
        flags           = REUSE
        socket_type     = stream
        wait            = no
        user            = root
        server          = /usr/kerberos/sbin/ftpd
        server_args     = -l -a
        log_on_failure  += USERID
        disable         = yes
}

To enable this service, edit the file and change the line disable = yes to disable = no, then restart your xinetd service.
