[X Newbies] How to setup FTP on OS X behind a Linksys

[Robert Esser]

I don't have a Linksys router so it may be different but you need to do 
something called "port mapping".

FTP uses port 21 which you need to map  to the private IP address of 
your computer.

It should be in the instructions of the Linksys.

Hope that helps.
