You can't as netstat will only show LISTENing connections on the local machine and ESTABLISHed connections to a remote system, if there is an open session.
Please connect to port 21, as that's the FTP control connection. If you see the banner message of the FTP server, it means that there is a FTP server running. If you don't get any response, it means there is either no service running (look for TCP RESETs in Wireshark) or there is a firewall that blocks the connection.

Hi, you can always use nmap or any other port scanning web site to try check the remote port? but if i remember correct, you cant use telnet to check udp port. answered 01 May '13, 23:46  splibytes |
Thanks for the reply, it clarified my doubts. This may be off-topic, but is there any common software being used to probe for remote ip ? The software on my mind is Nmap.
namp is the 'standard' tool for port scanning. There is also a free Windows tool, called 'SoftPerfect Network Scanner' and numerous other tools. Just google for: port scanner
