I have the same router model, so here is my setup and some questions

1. Do you need another portbase ?
2. do you have setup a dns record for ftp.your site.com ?
3. do you have turned on the ftp server in the advanced tab and forwarded to the 
machines ip ? You ONLY need to enable the ftp server, no messing around with port 20
4. you don't need to open / close in the firewall section of the router; the ports for the ftp 
server or configured through enabling the pre configured ftp server
5. if you enabled the ftp server, did you check the schedule settings ?

Those are some things to test and if you still have some questions, just ask.
