I do not know your network layout
but if sitting behind a firewall the port 21 must be open unless you set another port being your UDP transfer.
Then choose your operating system. (Windows. Linux)
It would be advantage if you write which operating to choos from to get the recipy

You must also open up port 20.
File transfer protocol is a TCP/IP application. It was originally designed before computers with shares on them. This was an easy way to get files to and from a specific computer on a Local Area Network. Nowadays, it is primarily just used on the internet due to the fact that it is easier to control thru a firewall than windows sharing and is also not operating system specific. You can use FTP with just about ANY operating system out there. I hope this and the other links above helped.
