It seems your router/gateway does not handle the NAT-ing of FTP connections properly. As you can see in this line:

Command: PORT 192,168,0,80,4,146

The server is trying to establish a connection to your IP address, which belongs to a private, non routable network -- 192.168.x.x.

Please make sure File Zilla is configured to work in passive mode. (More about FTP clients and accounts)

Also, if you have a siteground.com account, make sure you are using the correct IP address or server name to connect to the server. The log that you pasted is not from a session with an FTP server of ours -- we use PureFTPd and Microsoft FTP Service for our Windows hosts, and have never had Serv-U FTP Server v5.0 on any of our servers.
