The FTP block is probably in the hosts allow and hosts deny files. Check those files in the /etc directory, and manually remove anything that applies to you/your IP address.
<br />
<br />If you don't clear your problem there - check to insure FTP is on in the first place and allowed for the domain whose username you are using for the login.

Not sure about the FTP - but I can see that's the wrong syntax for deleting
a rule from
IPTables.
<br />>
<br />> First, use "iptables -L -n" to see the firewall
rules in IPTables. Look for the rule that contains your own IP address. Count
down the rules in that chain. You'll probably be looking in the chain
"acctin" which are the rules pertaining to incoming packets. But your
IP may be in "acctout" too - the chain acting on outgoing
packets.
<br />>
<br />> If the rule containing your IP address is the fifth rule down
in the chain "acctin" of IPTables - use the
syntax
<br />> iptables -D acctin
5
<br />> Which will delete the fifth rule in the chain
"acctin".
<br />>
<br />> If you find your IP address in the "acctout" chain
too - delete it the same way. But I don't think you'll find a outgoing
block too, just a incoming
block.
