Is there a working FTP server on the same machine? Because that's what localhost (127.0.0.1, ::1) means.

How would I determine if there is a working ftp server?

If you did not set one up, or enabled one to run, there isn't. Besides, localhost connections are meaningless. You already are at that machine and local things can be done directly.

Did you install and set up FileZilla Server? The screenshot is from Client.

I'm on opensuse and yast shows ftp and ftp client as the same install.

Linux usually has an SSH2/SFTP server running, not FTP. Try SFTP on port 22.
