Question : Cannot establish a FTP connection from AS/400 to a Laptop

Hi, Im trying to transfer files from an AS/400 to my laptop using FTP. The Laptop has Windows Vista,
When trying to connect to my laptop from AS/400 I receive this message:
Connecting to remote host 146.39.64.20 using port 21.                        
Cannot connect to host 146.39.64.20 at address 146.39.64.20. Try again later.
Im rookie in FTP then somebody told me it is because the port 21 is not active in the laptop. This person executed the following command to check if the port 21 is in listening status:
P:\>netstat -an |find /i "listening"

Port 21is not in the list.
Is this the reason I cannot connect from the AS/400?
If yes, How can I activate the port 21 in my Laptop?
Thanks for your Help.

yes... you're not running an ftp server on your laptop.

For windows, there are many available...

http://filezilla-project.org/   is one

http://www.warftp.org/   is another
