I presume you need a static IP.

Yet another victim of network address translation.
You cant access your ftp server from outside your network because you'd be trying to connect to the router that's causing the NAT. As far as i know, you can pay for the solution (dynamic/static IP with no NAT) or setup something less reliable like a reverse ssh tunnel.
Cheers.

For small files it is ok to get VISP broadband (direct, not over reseller), there is real ip's offered.
For anything else - it is inappropriate to use broadband account for hosting purproses, and even almost anything in Lebanon. Lebanon actually 10 years back in internet speed and amounts from the rest of the world.

Most big ISPs won't let you use you connection for http or ftp hosting unless you have special accounts. It's not like that just in Lebanon

I might say something stupid, but is the IP your router get when you connect to visp a real IP? If so, you just open a incoming port in your router saying that if FTP request comes to you forward it to my machine (your machine is the IP address of your machine)
