Andres,

The vpnc-connect script should handle setting up the routing info for
you, once your configuration file is correct.  (Take a look at the last
few lines of vpnc-connect, there are probably several 'route' commands.)

After running vpnc-connect, just try this to see if you are really
connected:
ping ip.of.ftp.server

I wonder if the 'default.conf' file is being consulted: that might just
be a starting point conf file.  You might try renaming your edited
version of 'default.conf' to 'vpnc.conf'.  At least that's what the
config file was called when I was trying out vpnc.
