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.

I can connect without a problem inside my network but from the outside, it starts to connect but never lists the contents of my machine. I checked the logs and it does show that I did connect. I guess it could be my connection at work but I wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this...
