Well, try looking at the FTP server's logs.

If you've used that line literally, it won't work if ftpd isn't in the
PATH (since it's in /usr/libexec it might not be, unless you've changed
the PATH). If you can see it running and listening on port 21, it's
fine, otherwise try changing it to

echo "  ftpd" && /usr/libexec/ftpd -D

Also, please try to use a more helpful subject line on your messages to
freebsd-questions, I have changed it to something more appropriate.
