Far from elegant, but it appears that pure-ftpd wasn't running.

# service pure-ftpd status

usually will tell you if a service is running or not.

Then vsftpd isn't installed.


# rpm -qf /etc/init.d/pure-ftpd
will tell you the name of the package that owns the init script.
# rpm -e <package>
or
# yum remove <package>
will remove it.
Then you might want to reboot to be sure it's not running any more. If 
you have sftp working, chances are pretty good that pure-ftpd isn't 
running, unless you're using non-standard ports.
