Thanks to "b_warden" for these insights....
I have personally have Windows 2000 - 7004ABR with the latest firmware (1.40) and have a different setup. To get my FTP server working properly, I need to set a port in Private and Public port in Virtual Server page ( default : 21 TCP ) and use that same port as a trigger in the Special Apps page. In my FTP server app ( GuildFTPd ), I enter in my WAN IP and the desired port range that will be used. This port range will then go into the Special Apps page listed under Public Port.
Another member in the forum, Arosene, owns the 7004ABR with Windows XP Pro installed, but his setup does not require entering in the port in Virtual Server page ( default : 21 TCP ). He too, uses GuildFTPd, and has no problems...yet.
I have tried disabling the port used in Virtual Server page to see if it is possible for a user to connect, but unfortunately, the user could not log in. When entering the port back in Virtual Server page, the user immediately connected.
I came to the conclusion that there may be an platform issue. Both Arosene and I didn't understand why two almost identical setups ( same FTP server app and router ) presented slightly different configurations.
