I do not have any NAS' on our network, the only thing we have are windows boxes and the firewall rule open port is port 21 from public IP to host 192.168.1.4 I see what you are saying regarding the header though

It looks to me like you're NATted from the outside to a different FTP server on the inside. Do you have a NAS or Linux box running an FTP service at HQ?

They have a 1.5 GB file I need to get to HQ , that is why I wanted to setup FTP using the external IP because using the internal one will disconnect every time that tunnel drops.

Confusion ensues because it already knows you're on the internal network. You'd have to get creative with your NAT rules and it just isn't worth it.
