Some questins about WingFTP Server

That looks like that article is going to be a huge help. When it comes to the router, I only have to forward port 80 and port 8080? I thought an FTP needed to use port 21 or port 990 for a secure FTP?

The KB article was referring to the web client of WingFTP, not FTP client access.

Transfer speeds outside of the office range from 50 to 80KB which is dramatically slower than it should be.

It depends a lot on the client too. For example, a client on the same ISP network as the server can even download with 6-8MBps (64Mbps) but a client outside the server's ISP network can not go above 180KBps- I have tested it, it's not theoretical. WingFTP can't go beyond ISP-to-ISP network limits.

What I can say for sure is that WingFTP pushes data as fast as your ISP allows you on the public network. When I was on a ISP with slow upload speed (450KBps), WingFTP was constantly reaching the 500KBps upload barrier.
