You might make sure LD_PRELOAD is set on the client side too.
It's clear you've done the server side.

Then check the libsdp.conf file on both sides to make sure SDP
is enabled respectively for both vsftpd server and ftp client
on the respective machines.

I prefer to just allow _all_ services in the libsdp.conf
and then selectively enable SDP for services by prefixing the command
line with LD_PRELOAD like this:
	LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libsdp.so ftp

That's instead of exporting the LD_PRELOAD.
Makes the libsdp.conf file much simpler and works for the
simple things I do.

hth,
