forward FTP right on RT-AC66U

[leonacn]

Hi, i'm having the RT-AC66U router and love it, however i do not know for sure how to port forward FTP service to a small linux server that i have at home.

I know how to go under WAN->PORT FORWARDING and add a rule there...but in the router Asus writes: "When you set 20:21 as your FTP server's port range for your WAN setup, then your FTP server would be in conflict with RT-AC66U's native FTP server. Then i'm just confused because then it sounds like i cannot add the 22 port for FTP service to my server or what?? Hope someone can help me in this great forum Thanks a lot in advance!

I would port forward port 22 and use sftp.
