FTP servers tend to have some issues when used behind Firewalls and/or NAT systems. You can get around that by using "Passive" mode, whereby the server initiates the alternate port negotiation rather than the client. When using FTP, you do use ports other than 20/21 but this is generally transparent to the user. I use IIS 5 behind a PIX 520 and a Linksys consumer router, both of which work fine is using passive mode on the client.

Also, check ALL of your permissions on the files/directories that you want to allow access to (share permissions, ftp site permissions, NTFS permissions).

The client determines the mode, and if that's your home directory for your ftp site, then yes.
