Typically RH runs WU-FTPd from inet.d or (more recently) xinet.d.
To work, several things must be tree:

  1) The appropriate FTP daemon must be installed.

  2) There must be an appropriate matching/correct stanza for in in
  (x)inet.d.

  3) TCP Wrappers (or specifically xinet.d) must not be configured
  to disallow connections from the systems you want to connect from.

I suspect at this point that you don't have an FTP daemon installed.
