ahh....have you changed router?
FTP uses a comms port and a data transfer port.
Routers need to masquerade that correctly if using NAT..
Took me for ever to get NFS working over the internet with my new 
router. My router insisted on using ports > 1000 as the translated 
source port, and the NFS server considered that insecure till I told it 
to Foxtrot Oscar.

There is always sftp. A cleaner protocol.And IIRC there are tools to let 
you 'mount' remote filesystems using it to look like part of your file 
system to GUI tools

If you have ssh access its worth considering
