Snippets so far that may help you or others.
$ host hadrianwaystora.mystora.com
hadrianwaystora.mystora.com has address 86.178.16.166
hadrianwaystora.mystora.com mail is handled by 10 mystora.com.
$ host 86.178.16.166
166.16.178.86.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer
host86-178-16-166.range86-178.btcentralplus.com.
$ sudo nmap 86.178.16.166

So assuming you agree that 86.178.16.166 is your current IP address
(visiting http://donk.c4l.co.uk/ip is one way to check) you seem to have
TCP port 21 (traditionally FTP) open.

> Connected to hadrianwaystora.mystora.com:22
That's port 22 though, not 21?
Cheers, Ralph.
