This is probably not the recommended method, but I have FTP setup using NAT port forwards from our public address to the private one with the FTP helper disabled. I had to setup the FTP server to use a specific range of ports for the dynamic ports and them forwarded that range to the FTP server. Fairly simple and no fancy dynamic rules. The downside is that it does not work well with Mutil WAN and trying to access the same internal FTP server for 2 different public addresses. The FTP server has the limitation that it can only advertise a single public address based on the source address of the ftp client. It is easy to set this up for LAN and a single WAN though.
