vsFTPd is a FTP daemon.
SFTP, is a component of the SSh version 2 protocol.

If you have started vsftpd by doing a "service vsftpd vsftp" as root on
your linux machine, then you may need to check /etc/hosts.allow and make
sure you have access rules for the IP/hostname you are trying to get to
your box from.  you shoudl also check to make sure that ports 20 and 21
(both tcp) are open on your firewall as well.

vsftpd logs messages to /var/log/messages and /var/log/xferlog so those
are good places to look for more info.
