You need to do the following:

FTP Server:
- Enable the FTP server in passive mode
- Allow a range of ports for this server (e.g. 20001 to 20005)
- Tell the world that your IP is YOUR_PUBLIC_IP

LRP:
- Port forwarding the above ports from LRP to the internal machine running
your FTP server.


I hope that helps.
