Considering everything you mentioned and info from your logs: you are trying to connect to your ftp server via your public address which is not correct. I will not go in details in packet routing and other things, just will tell in simple words:
So, if you set up your ftp server, just use private address to connect to it, if it resides within your corporate network.
Or, if you really want to connect to it with the same public address, you need to set up routing tables on your router, so it will translate IP's to different addresses (so called NAT).
