You have to setup a packet filter rule allowing you FTP.
Like
Source: Intranet (or your PC)
Service: FTP
Destination: Any
It will not work via HTTP Proxy. There you can only use FTP over HTTP, like your Browser is doing.
A "real" FTP-Client need a "real FTP rule

Try using Passive mode on your FTP Client instead of active mode. There should be a place to set this in WS_FTP.

Passive is usually worse with NAT.
