Some things to check
(a) The FTP server should be set to passive mode, and you should adjust the port range to just a few ports (4-10). Ports over 50000 are good choices, as they are unassigned.
(b) The passive ports you choose also need to be forwarded to the NAS
(c) some clients will require masquerading to be set on the server to the external IP address of the router. Some don't need this (FileZilla doesn't). I don't know about total commander.
