bash: ftp: command not found

wu-ftpd latest tar was installed & added entry to xinetd.f

ps -ef | grep ftp gives:
user 5617 2413 0 03:33 pts/3 00:00:00 grep ftp

To me that says, it is running.

netstat -a | grep ftp gives:
tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN

Entry in xinetd.conf is:

service ftp
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
server_args = -l
instances = 4
only_from = someentiresubnetnetwork/xx
}

Did a:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

and also a:
/etc/init.d/xinetd start

Also did this:
chkconfig wu-ftp

And when I run:
ftp localhost
bash: ftp: command not found

What is the matter? It was installed and it is running apparently & command not found?? this out of this world.

Thanks for any suggestions!


Glad to be here!
