Well it depends what the real problem is. You don' get connected or is he 
denying your access eventhough the port is opened. I he refuses indeed to 
open the port that is indeed the reason. Can you make with your pc a 
telnet session on an external workstation outside your local network
?
If not I confirm your problem and than you have to ftp over 
the workstations if they are connected with the pc. Inform me about it, 
maybe you can save by this needless searching!
