I've installed proftpd on my droplet, successfully started it, and tried to access it remotely thru:
>ftp 198.199.71.29
and get
ftp: connection timed out
nmap shows:
Starting Nmap 6.00 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-06-11 15:43 UTC
Nmap scan report for admin.lakesentry.net (198.199.71.29)
Host is up (0.00060s latency).
Not shown: 997 closed ports

Initially I told it to use inetd vs. standalone, but changed that later in the config file after documentation directed standalone…So proftpd.conf shows:
