"All manner" is hard to trace, but if you gave us *exact* error
messages we may have solutions. For the home directory error, it's
because you haven't created the home directory in the correct location
or haven't assigned it correct permissions.

This may be an issue with your port 21 working and port 2100 not. Are
you forwarding the port correctly in your router?
