Steve's suggestion (curl) has given you your public IP address - i.e the address seen by the destination.
This address will vary depending on your method of connection. At home you may have a fixed IP address from your ISP. It is more likely though that you will have a dynamic address allocated from a pool by the ISP. When out and about your public address will be that allocated by the network provider at the time (and may be interfered with by varying levels of proxies).
If you are having trouble with your browser based FTP client, try the command line ftp. Or install a stand-alone ftp graphical client like gFTP. Personally I think browser based ftp sucks.
