[Buildroot] vsftpd

["Markus Königshaus" <m.koenigshaus@wut.de>]

You forget to set listen to YES, I thing - look at man vsftpd.conf:

[ ... ]

   listen If  enabled,  vsftpd will run in standalone mode. This means
that vsftpd must not be run from an inetd of some kind. Instead, the
vsftpd executable is run once directly. vsftpd itself will then take care of
              listening for and handling incoming connections.

              Default: NO
