This is the problem many number of the system admins face.
1) First check the /etc/ftpusers file
if that file exist then edit that file and remove the root entry there in that file
2) check for the ports that are active for the FTP or not.
3)If you are using ip adresses, make sure the servers can ping each other by ip adress. If you are using hostnames, then make sure the two servers can resolve each other's hostname.
4) Check the /etc/inetd.conf file
where the /usr/sbin/ftpd ftpd must not be commented.
if comented please remove the comment ( #)
5) check for the /etc/services
in this file check for the FTP services they must not be commented.
Check for the FTP/TCP and FTP/UDP and all services related to FTP.
they must not be comented.
6) Finally and most importent thing is
The shell of the root also important , if the root's default shell is 'bash' then you will not be able to FTP to that server by root.
Please chanag the root default shell to ksh.
