I concur with Brian.  The most likely reason for the ":q" was an errant vi
quit command.
I agree. I use nano on this host, but vi on most others.
Looks like a ":s" would be valid.  . .
I'll also point out, that the :21 isn't necessary either.  This would only
be necessary if you wanted to test a service that would be running on a
non-standard port.  . . .
And for this host, I do have additional tests for the ftp service 
against other ports. In this case the port designation isn't required 
from a functional standpoint, but it is from a documentation perspective.
