Web Publish FTP Server?

Hi there

I have read the relevant articles on www.isaserver.org regarding the
publishing of an FTP Server, but I am damned if I can get mine to work.

I have an FTP Server internal to my organisation and am trying to publish
it to the outside world. When I connect via FTP command prompt from the
outside I get an error that the connection timed out.

When I use Server Publishing to publish my FTP server then I can at least
connect to the FTP Server, but I cannot do a GET, PUT, DIR, LS etc etc. It
just then seems to hang.

I tried using Internet Explorer to connect to my ftp site
(ftp://www.xxx.yyy.zzz) and IE came back with the following error message:
The folder 'ftp://www.xxx.yyy.zzz/' is read-only because the proxy server
is not set up to allow full access.
To move, paste, rename, or delete files, you must use a different proxy.
For information on changing your proxy, contact your administrator.

Do I need to create some sort of Incoming Request permissions (just like I
did for the outgoing web requests?) If so, which authentication model
should I enable?

Does anyone have an idea as to why I cannot seem to connect when using WEB
Publishing for my FTP Server?

Cheers
William R.
