The way to tell for sure is rpm -q packageName
If it comes back 'not installed', then you know what to do -- otherwise,
try rpm -V packageName or rpm -Vvv packageName. If -V comes back with
missing files, then you can work from there (either re-install the rpm
or get Directly Involved). But assuming that you do have all the right
stuff in place. . .

On my systems (and I think on most), ftp is controlled by the inetd
daemon, which is started at boot time by rc.local; its configuration
file is /etc/inetd.conf, which lists all of the services which inet is
allowed to run on a given machine. There should be a line in that file
for ftp.
You might want to man inetd for information on that file and how to get
it set up the right way for what you want.
Provided that the file is set up the right way, then ftp should run. If
not, c'mon back and we'll try again.
