I have tried many answers but I was unable to make ftp work on my ubuntu 14.04.ftp works with localhost but not with other ip's

Whenever I try to use

>ftp <ip-address>

I get this error

ftp: connect: Connection refused

I have installed ftpd and ftpd this is output of

dpkg -l | grep 'ftp'

ii  ftp                                                   0.17-28                                             amd64        classical file transfer client

Also This is the output of

iptables -L

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

output of

netstat -l | grep ftp

Check to see if the ftp server is running:

ps aux | grep ftp

If not, see if you can start/stop or restart the service:

sudo service ftpd stop && sudo service ftpd start

Or:

sudo service ftpd restart

You can also check to see whether ftpd is listening on the correct port:

netstat -l | grep ftp

The output should show ftpd listening on port 21 (standard ftp port).
