I do not know how it is in your country but in USA most ISPs block port 21 for home internet connections (so that way you have to buy a business connection).

Things you need:
FTP server setup on host computer
Static Ip set on host computer
Router setup for port forwarding (IP set to 192.168.1.200, and tcp port 21 (both for local and remote) opened).
If your ISP blocks port 21 then you will need to use a different port (anything over 10000 should be fine).

You also need to use your public IP address from an outside computer, you can not use the 192.168.1.200 address from an outside computer.

Also, your ISP likely provides you with a dynamic Public IP address, meaning it changes every 1-4 weeks; this means you either need to manually...

Now with all of this said, this is VERY insecure, you are just asking hackers and script-kiddies to break into your computer and trash it.
You should not be putting a basic computer running an FTP server on the internet. You need to be setting this up using SFTP and using offbeat unique ports. This makes it massively more difficult for anyone to get in and encrypts both the username/password exchange and the actual data.
