In addition to an FTP client you need an FTP server. The FTP server is the software that allows someone to connect and download/upload using an FTP client.

Did you forward the ports needed for data transfer? Port 21 is for the control connection, any data is sent/received through another connection (that includes both directory listings and files themselves).
You have to set up port forwarding to the client if you use active FTP and to the server if you use passive FTP. Many routers have issues with loopback connections. You may never be able to properly connect to your own public IP address if you have a crappy router.
