By default FTP is not enabled for remote connections. If you want to use a FTP program like Filezilla or WinSCP you need to configure the connection through SSH (sFTP). It is necessary to specify your private key. You can find more info at http://wiki.bitnami.org/BitNami_Cloud_Hosting/Servers/Access_your_machine#Uploading_files
There is also a FTP running in the machine itself. This is used to download files from the applications. It is configured to listen only on 127.0.0.1. If you want to enable it, you have to open the 21 port in the Amazon firewall and remove the "listen_address" option from the /etc/vsftpd.conf file and restart it.
