port forward in my router to port 21 and 20.
Please read the Network Configuration guide and forward all required ports (Passive port range). Port 20 is a myth, never used for incoming connections.

After having done the above, could you test your server at https://ftptest.net/?

Timeouts are usually caused by some router and/or firewall that is interrupting the connection.
Try uninstalling all firewalls and plug your computer directly into your modem, thus bypassing the router. i get this error msg after following the guide

The test fails, this proves the error is on the server end. As your internal LAN works OK (You really tested LAN, not just the same machine? That's different!) you must check the router, as it's the gateway to the Internet. Consult the router's manual for the exact procedure.

What did you configure and forward as Passive port range?

Anyway, if the log is unchanged, there's still a very aggressive firewall at work here. Not even the PASV response does it make to the client. Could you test with a listening port different from 21, like 2100?

To share additional directories outside the home directory you need to use aliases.
