Lftp issue

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat
1

I installed KVM and configured two virtual machines in it server1.example.com(192.168.100.193) and tester1.example.com(192.168.100.230).I want to access server1.example.com from tester1.example.com over lftp.As far as networking is concerned between both I do have some doubts.
I tried ping and telnet.Here are the results

[root@tester1 ~]# ping 192.168.100.193

It is strange that ping works and telnet does not even when port 21 is open

lftp output says delaying before reconnect but never connects.

What does it show for the default gateway on both servers?

3

Here are screenshot of route command for gateway

4

And FTP is definitely running?

lsof -i TCP:21

The issue most certainly isn't with lftp, but with vsftpd.

Is it running (as in2nix4life asks)?

# service vsftpd status

And if it is, is it listening on port 21?

(I would expect a "connection refused" error if port 21 is open, but nothing is listening on it)

What does:

# nmap 192.168.100.193

show?

This is from the server side where I implemented vsftp(192.168.100.193)
