You've configured a service check not the host check:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/hostchecks.html
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/servicechecks.html
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host
I would recommend to read the manual first, to get a basic knowledge of how
Nagios works.

Its a linux Server.
We used check_ftp and it returns up, this value was used to show FTP server
as up, instead of ping, but still showing as DOWN!!
Is there any other way to show FTP server as UP from some other values
status?

The check_command in the *host* definition, not the service definition.
Is this a Windows 2008 FTP server? If so, Win2008 disables pings out
of the box, and a custom rule must be added to the Windows Firewall
to allow ICMP ECHOREQ.
Or use a check_command that would indeed show the correct status of
the host. Do *not* blindly disable the Windows Firewall to "fix"
this, if this is what's going on.
