You will either have, in your router, the ability to forward ports. Depending on router this can have different names.

Or, the ability to set up "virtual servers" which is a similar idea to port forwarding.

Both these methods generally require the local IP to forward too, the port/port range to forward, in your case 20-21, and the protocol, TCP or UDP, your case would be TCP.

Make sure you set up strong strong passwords, don't even have an account called Administrator or Admin, use a different name, FTP servers are constantly and randomly hammered on. If your doing anything private, make sure your FTP server uses encryption of some sort, not plain text.
