You can set selinux to allow ftp connections... but the default fedora install didn't include the tools to do it. So I just turned it off, and ftp worked fine after that.
Also I forgot, with vsftpd, you can't login as root by default. It's not very safe to do so, but here is how:
vim /etc/vsftpd/ftpusers
remove 'root' from the file, save and quit
vim /etc/vsftpd/user_list
remove 'root' from the file, save and quit
then restart vsftpd: /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
