the hosts.allow and .deny files will allow for a connection but the
connection will immediately be terminated. If the ftp program is a daemon
and is not called by inetd (/etc/inetd.conf) then it doesn't normally even
check /etc/hosts.* so it looks like the ftp daemon isn't even installed. I
can recommend proftpd to you. Just run 'apt-get install proftpd'
