rejieah,

If you have a static IP and the DNS entry for your domain name is pointing to that IP address - you basically need to forward (NAT) the FTP ports (TCP Port 21) from your router to the node on your LAN that's running your FTP server.

Go to the support site for your router and you should be able to find specific instructions for forwarding FTP traffic to a specific node/machine/server on your local network.

Reply with the specific make/model of router and the make/model of the FTP server system as well as OS and revision.
