FTP Server is shown alive, but Nagios says DOWN!

[IT Toonz]

Check_command is set to check_ftp and that is shown as UP, can't figure out
why Nagios is showing ftp server as DOWN!!

Please see the configuration file below.

# Define a service to check host alive  the remote machine

 define service{
          use                             local-service         ; Name of
service template to use
          host_name                       ftpsrv
          service_description             Check FTP Service
          check_command                   check_ftp!
          }

To which service check can we change to, so that Nagios doesn't show an UP
server as DOWN.

Regards
Anth.

The host up/down status will be defined by the check_command in the host 
definition.

What is this set to ? I would guess that it's been set to check 
something that the host doesn't repond to.
