Goodmorning.the last 5 hours i try to set up a FileZilla server to transfer big files with my family,i have done all steps,
i have read and seen so many guides and i have read the FAQ as well as the Network Configuration wiki page.
The lan seams to work perfect,but for some reason i cant make it work from the internet. The error i get from "Online FTP tester" is : "Error: Connection attempt timed out "
i have opened the ports on my rooter. and as for firewall/antivirus at first i puted the ports and as it didnt work i closed both. so no firewall or antivirus running to block anything and still dosnt work
* note: on my rooters status i see my ip address,its the same on google,and thats the ip i use, is that wrong?also on rooters status there is a "Default Gateway: xxx.yy.zzz.ee" maybe i should use this one somewhere?
please can you help me and tell me what i am doing wrong?
thanks for your time!
Here are some images to help you see what i have set up!:

In your router configuration you need to enter your unroutable LAN IP address, not the public routable IP.

thank you so much with the fast answer.u was correct i changed it to my lan ip and it worked,progress was made
.
for the first time i manage to connect to the server, but now i get a new error: "Error: Could not establish data connection: Connection refused "
edit: sounds like port or firewall refuse but firewall/antivirus are closed and as u can see from picks all the Ports are Forwarding
Code: Select all
Warning: Selected port (31313) is not the default port (21) of the selected protocol.

edit2:
found this settings on my rooter and was off, i activate them and added my port but nothing changed, i keep getting the same error.
edit3: I tried this 197*256* the last number on passive mode and always is in range of 50.000-51.000 so i have no idea why i get this error :-S

There could also be a firewall on the server machine (high chance). There, the ports must also be opened.

i have closed all the firewalls/antivirus on my pc
edit: here is what i get from my dads pc/client when i try to connect. (sorry for the greeks, i translated them to english, its not exactly the correct translation but u get the point
)
and here is what i get on the server(my pc) :

ftptest.net is just acting as client from outside your LAN. It must got through the router AND any firewalls/security software on your server PC. Another PC on the LAN must only pass the firewalls but has to use the LAN IP of your server directly.
Disabling a firewall doesn't stop it from interfering completely. Windows has one a built-in, and almost every software calling itself "security software" has one, too. Something is blocking the data ports 50000-51000, as the initial connection works fine. Currently, my bets are still on the firewall as cause.

thanks a lot for all your time and answers, i have seen again for any "firewall" or something that may running but except windows firewall and karspesky nothing is installed. if you see the pictures on my previous post it seams when i try to log in with my dads pc/client it stay logged in the server waiting with the message :425 cant open data connection for the transfer of "/". everyone discus this error on internet say its something blocking the ports (firewall,antivirus,rooter) , exactly as you say. so not much i can do, i will try tomorrow on my girlfriends pc that its in the same network to see what will happen, if it works means its my pc if not means its the rooter. i will inform you with the results. maybe some1 have the same problem one day. thanks again for all your time!!
edit: btw while i had the server on a random ip connected (that when i google its a reported for bot/abuser ip) for 1 second and disconnected. seams dangerous to have the server on with out antivirus :-S

Try to uninstall all Kaspersky software, it has a reputation of breaking all sorts of software using networking.
