If you look on page 89 of the R7000 manual, you'll see that there are two FTP settings. One to enable local access and one to enable Internet access. You need to enable the latter.

Re: FTP unable to connect from outside
You have a port forwarding rule where the IP address is the router itself? That doesn't make any sense. You want the port forwarding rule to point to the IP address of the FTP server on your home network.

Re: FTP unable to connect from outside
Did you set it up to port forward TCP port 21?
