Cannot forward FTP to FTP server inside my network.

Cannot make it work. Even with the FTP preset in the router.
I suppose you're using a Windows native FTP service. If that's the case refer to: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-and-manage-ftp-server-windows-10
to set it up. I would recommend you to use passive mode, so you can define a port range for data port in FTP Firewall support:
Then you can define (for example port range 5000-5005):
Finally you have to define a port forward of this port range in the router WebGUI (in your case internal Ip address is 192.168.10.11):
I you are using 3-rd party software for the FTP server then you should look where you can define this port range (to receive passive connections through the firewall) and accordingly make a port forward through the router's WebGUI like shown above.
Of course the port forwarding of TCP port 21 (FTP control port) is mandatory - you already configured that with the pre-defined services form the router's menu.
And you should remove the port 20 TCP forwarding (not necessary in passive mode).
I have opened the ports but they are still closed. Maybe this is due to the FTP function using USB. But I am not using the USB. I want the FTP connection to be on the local IP 192.168.10.11.
Ports on the network.
I have successfully connected using the openVPN functionality. But I did not want to use it with the VPN.
It seems to be some bug on the firmware.
I also tried using the port 22 yesterday and deleted the configuration, but it is still showing that it is open.
BR.

I was able to make it work but not using port 21, I used port 65000. In my opinion, there is a bug here.
Also, you were right about the passive settings.
Thank you very much.
