I'm using DSL on an old computer as my webserver.  I've had a hard time trying to make Monkey works before i figured out that my ISP block port 80 and 21 (and maybe more).  I changed it to 8080 and now everything's fine for Monkey.  I can't seem to change BetaFTPd port (and from what i read on the website, many features are missing), so i wanted to install WU-ftpd and that way, be able to change the ftp port.  But I can't seem to be able to run it.

Here's what I've done so far :
- download and uncompress the bins in /opt/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/bin
- put the following files in etc/
  ftpaccess
  ftpconversions
  ftpusers
  ftpservers

- add the following lines to etc/services
wuftpd-data  4020/tcp
wuftpd         4021/tcp

- add the following lines to etc/inetd.conf
wuftpd stream tcp nowait root usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/wu-ftpd-2.6.1/bin/ftpd -l -a


I've run inetd but when I try to connect (locally), nothing happens, like there's no FTP server listenning on the port.

My biggest question is : I've tried running ftpd (just typing "ftpd") from the command line but when I do a PS (ps | grep ftpd) it is not in memory, am I missing something?

I'm at my early age on linux, so I may be missing something obvious.  If there's easier ftp server, I'm taking suggestions.
Any help/tips are welcomed.  Thanks.
