Hello,
I have a problem with my ftp that im trying tp set up on Freenas. Its supposed to be a remotely accessible ftp for my family for some photo sharing. I have set up all the users and there home directory's. I have made a dataset under the volume. And I have set up the ftp under services. And also opened the port 21 on my router.
The thing is that I am able to connect to the ftp without a problem within my network. But as soon as a friend tries to connect to it remotely he just times out.
It feels like i have tried everything, changed to different ports and tried both "virtual servers" and "port forwarding" on my router. I also tried this software to see if the router was open and it was.

But for that test i tried it on my main computer and not the actual NAS since i cant run the software on it. But it doesn't feel like that should make any difference. If its open on my main computers ip it should be open when i direct it to the NAS ip right?
I need all the help I can get from you guys! Do you have any ideas what might be the problem?
