how to invoke FTP in my server.

Beats me,

Do you actually connect to the other server, or does something like a firewall get in the way?

Can you try a different ftp client? Probably not since its a server, but you might be able to fudge a little by placing one on a cd, and then using it from that media, if they'll let you.

Do you get a logon screen, or just the refused message?

Do what I do when no one else is looking: beg, make it an offer it can't refuse, offer up burnt sacrifices, etc....

Ok, I'll assume that the server is fully qualified in DNS and has the correct reverse listing?

Does snoop show anything?

What happens if you just telnet to the ftp port on the other server?

When all else fails, punt the box.

Since it happens to all outbound something like TCP Wrappers is probably not involved.

If you really need that to work from the server then you're going to have to do something. You could move files by cd,etc. for a while.

Schedule a reboot unless any one else has an idea.
