Thanks for all the replys! I tried doing what everybody suggested, although unsure if I did it correctly. The main error I am getting from Filezilla is "Server sent passive reply with unroutable address. Using server address instead." Now I can connect to my ftp server from within my network using the internal IP address of the server and switch files in and out using Filezilla at will. But I run into the error above when I try to connect externally through my router, it makes me think it has something to do with my firewall?
