I have an ftp server set up on my ntl connection and have had for ages. It's behind a linksys router. The way I did it was to configure the server with a fixed ip and then set the DMZ on the router to that fixed LAN ip address. I installed a good software firewall on the server machine to (as it is now effectively open!) and haven't had and problems with it yet. The setup also worked with port forwarding, but this still has a habit of messing up on my linksys router, even with the latest firmware loaded (if the router was powered off and on again).
