This is because your router is using NAT to map from the outside. You must use an FTP client that allows passive transfers. FTP also uses port 20 as a control port.

For example, if you are using CuteFTP, on the advanced tab you can select PASV mode, or I think older versions have a Use Firewall option.

Hope this helps, Chuck
