Most ftp server installations are started under control of the internet super-daemon - inetd or xinetd.

First, is ftp a daemon or running from xineted.

cd /etc/xinetd.d

type ls and see if there is a file for some ftp package.

If you are using an older version of linux, instead of xinetd.d you will have plain inetd. That is a single file called /etc/inetd.conf and there will be an entry for ftp.

If you are running it as a daemon, then most likey it is not in the run levels to turn it on at boot.
Turning it on depends on your linux distro.

as root, use this command to turn it back on:
/sbin/chkconfig wu-ftpd on

hope this helps,
