    you should get FTP working on your LAN before you experiment with
    port forwarding from your router.

    CAVEAT EMPTOR; FTP is insecure and the passwords are sent in clear text, ie unencrypted.

    Once FTP is running, you should opt to use SSH instead of FTP -- it has secure passwords and data exchange.
