According to http://www.linuxjournal.com/article.php?sid=5902
  At least, the latest version of the ROM makes the FTP server open only on
  the USB network interface

Document is dated Jul 2, 2002.

My ROM is 2.12 (machine was bought on July 9!) and if I try to connect
to port 4242 over wireless network the connection is terminated immediately.
I haven't tried to connect via USB yet (not even unwrapped the USB adapter).
