Author FTP error: The FTP session was terminated

Through IIS itself I can browse my FTP directory. I can even browse it by entering my static Network IP through IE.
But whenever I try to access it through my (outside) IP, I get the following error:

"Windows cannot access this folder. Please make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access the folder.

Details:
The FTP session was terminated"

Is this error the fault of my network setup? I'm using Port 100 instead of the regular port 21, and I specify port 100 every time I connect. On my router setup page, I also indicated for this IP to have FTP access. And specified the Private and Public port for FTP to be 100.

am I not sharing it right? what I am I doing wrong here?

a) test everything locally first, then
b) test remotely using ftp.exe to connect to your ftp in active mode.
if you change to port 100, make sure port 99 is open as well in your router.
active mode uses a 2 ports default is 21 and 21-1 = 20.

for passive mode, refer
Information About the IIS File Transmission Protocol (FTP) Service
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=283679

if you running w2ksp4 or above, customize the port range and configure your
router to allow connection in those port range.
