I'm rather confused as to why you need to use your external IP address for a local host ftp server? Quite frankly it doesn't make any sense. Most configurations don't allow this and the ones that do usually end up sending data to your isp and back reducing the speed to your isp connection.
If that is not the case can you please explain in detail your situation.
P.S. I don't think that is your problem, as you stated "111.111.111.111" is a valid IP address.
