I am using FTP server VSFTPD (vsftpd-1.1.3-8) and I have also configured it for IPv6.

The guideline that I have used is in the following link
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-ftpipv6/?ca-dgr-lnxw06
Section "Configuring the Linux FTP server vsftpd for IPv6"
It is also mentioned in the following link as well
http://antwort.42h.de/archives/11-Ipv4-+-IPv6-with-vsftpd.html
The client and server machines are also IPv6 enabled as I am using Fedora linux Kernel 2.6.18.2. During upgrading the kernel version, I have enabled all IPv6 options in 'make xconfig' step
But the problem still exists.
Any suggestions

Maybe because your ftp client or server isn't IPv6 enabled? Hint:
strace the client and/or server.
