Just some extra info about forwarding FTP:
FTP and NAT is generally not the best combo. Ftp uses a control
connection and a data connection. Look up the correct ports (20+21?) and
try using passive FTP.

If everything fails, just try using SFTP over SSH (works by default in
most linux distros. It's a lot safer to use over the internet anyway).

(in case of a linux desktop, command-line sftp works, through gnome, you
can connect to an sftp server too. From windows, try using psftp or winscp).
