The ftp server per se is working:

Alas (IMHO) too many tools seem to consider ftp isn't useful anymore which I disagree with, but that's another story :-)

You can also use http in your config file:
http://mondorescue.org/ftp/ is a drop in replacement for ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org

So you can adapt your conf files accordingly.
