      No need to put a public IP address on the computer, besides that would be impossible when you are behind the router.

      Set up the FTP server on the computer you desire which will have a private IP address. The go into the router configuration and forward Port 21 to computer with the FTP server on it. People will then be able to access your FTP server via your public IP address with actually knowing the private IP address of the computer that is running the server. The router does all the work of working that out.
