You need to open the proper port ranges. Here is a guide to running a ftp server under serv-u, but the concepts are the same:

Good luck!

Good answers, but there are some other things to consider..

Most ISP's block inbound connections to "typical" server ports, as they are usually prohibited by their TOS agreements you have to sign/agree to. Port 21, for FTP is usually one of them.

Do you have a "router (Linksys, netgear, etc?) or just the DSL modem?

If you have a router:

Setup the FTP Server software as normal on your PC, running on port 21, as usual.
Pick a random high port number (above 1024) to use for your FTP on the Internet (Example: 1021)
Go to your router and configure it's port forwarding capabilities to forward port 1021 on the outside to your PC on the inside to port 21.

If you don't have a router, just setup the FTP server software to listen on a high port (like 1021).

When you connect to your home machine, tell your FTP client to connect to your static IP on port 1021 and things should work. You might have to force the client into passive mode to get everything fully functional, however.
