Kloxo has some problems with pureftpd 1.0.36 and this is a way to fix it.
Before trying this, check for correct configuration of your linux firewall.
You may test FTP via SSH with sample FTP command:

Your pureftpd is working fine and the issue is related to firewall config.

You can restart the service vy the following linux command:
