I 'm glad to know that I'm not alone in this case...
I did it few weeks ago .
Probably you have in your "ftpaccess" file a line like this:

            shutdown /etc/shutmsg

With this, ftpshut command creates a file shutmsg. The daemon  
ftpd looks at this file and when it find it , the ftp service is anavailable.
To get it available, you have only  to remove this file shutmsg.

Have a good day,

Pascale
