I wish M0n0 dealt with FTP better. I have used many different router and 
never had any problem with any of them accessing my home LAN FTP server 
except M0n0. All I had to do was forward port 21 to the IP of the PC running 
the FTP server and create a firewall rule for it, on routers that do have a 
real firewall, and BAM I can connect from a remote location. NOT so with 
M0n0. You have to jump through many hoops to get it to work. I have now 
stopped using M0n0 on a everyday basis and gone back to my Zyxel ZyWall5 for 
just this reason.
That is what I would like to see in future releases.
