Ubuntu Servers :: VsFTPd - Connection Refused

Connecting remotely through FileZilla works ok, but I can't connect from localhost (FWIW I'm running WordPress and would like to be able to upload plugins from the dashboard).

I've got vsFPTPd installed and - I think - running:

Code:

# service vsftpd start
vsftpd start/running, process 25782

All ok so far... however I can't see it on any of my ports:

Code:

# nmap localhost
Not shown: 995 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open ssh

[code]....

And of course if I

Code:

telnet localhost:21
That's 'Connection refused...'
Nothing in 'netstat --listen' either.

The odd thing is, I can connect fine using FileZilla.

To confirm, I have

Code:

local_enable=YES
set in my vsftpd.conf.
