hmmmm.... might be worth rebooting the tivo, or manually running

/tivo-bin/tivoftpd

I take it you can see a line which looks like this

tnlited 23 /bin/bash -login &

? There should be an ifconfig command on 2 lines after it

You could do that, but since you can telnet no prob, and haven't deleted
any files/ changed anything you shouldn't, it shouldn't be necessary to
go to that trouble. If you've not tried it already, a reboot might fix 
the ftp... it's possible that you've had quite a few failed attempts 
which has got tivo's ftp service in a bit of a muddle.

Apologies if I don't reply after this, I might end up going to bed 
(almost sleeping at the keyboard :)... hopefully we can sort this out 
for you tonight or tomorrow :)
