I assume you meant port 21 (port 22 is for SSH).  @Home isn't currently blocking
port 21, at least not with AT&T in Dallas.  (They're not blocking port 22, either). 

If you haven't done so already, please look into running FTP over SSH, such as
SecureFTP or even rolling your own with SSH forwarding.  Running an FTP server
unsecured is just begging for trouble.
