RS300 connects by LAN but not by internet FTP
I have set up my RS300 (Firmware Version V1.0.1.60), from my Mac, as shown in screenshot attached.
The Mac reads the local share "readyshare" no problem, but I cannot get any kind of ftp connection to the readyshare volume.
I'm using dynamic dns to point to my router, and I know that works because fileZilla reports resolving my dynamic url to exactly my routers ip address.
Using fileZilla I get the following errors:
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to 192.168.1.1:21...
Status: Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Disconnected from server

Any clues what I'm doing wrong?
