Howdy,
Well, let's tackle FTP first.
What kind of error do you get when trying to access it?
Also, I have a few questions --
What distro are you using
What is the output of the command: iptables -L -n
FTP error: Error: Connection timed out Error: Could not connect to server
If I try to access domains on the server, I get the same response!
I am using Centos 5.7

BTW, when logging onto ssh (via putty), when I type in my user name, I get a response of 'Access Denied', but it still goes to pass word and lets me in
Hmm, if you haven't rebooted since you restarted ProFTPd -- it's possible that it's listening on the old IP address, and not the new one. You may want to try restarting the ProFTPd daemon to see if that resolves the FTP issue.

Opening just one firewall port for might not work since the FTP protocol uses more than one port (search also for
active and passive ftp and firewall).I have rebooted the server and, now, proftp, without luck.
As mentioned already, I doubt that the above firewall rules work will allow FTP to work. You can confirm this by disabling the firewall.
I have mode no changes to the firewall since the Ip change.
Would an IP change affect the firewall?
I don't think so (if it is the same interface).
But did you disable the firewall and test ftp again?
Not sure if related or relevant!
All but one (of 20+) site is up and running.
All sites where I have DNS running locally and the VPS set up as nameserver at the registrars load quickly.
On a few crucial domain, I have used the registrar's (123-reg) NS and pointed the www, @, etc at the new IP address. these domains are very slow, 123 claim it is not their NS's, so, I am again worried that something hasn't 'taken' on my VPS and it is related to the other issues.
Helpmin - yes, but no good!
What do you mean by
sites. Virtual Servers?Based on the new information, it looks like you did much more than just change the Ip address :-) But it is not clear what exactly.
Regarding
I am not sure what you mean exactly
site = website=url/domain
yes, disables, but still no access!
It looks like your DNS is not configured correctly (based on your recent posts). You could start with
https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/dns/troubleshooting
Last night, I totally stripped back the DNS structure of the server and started from scratch.
Whilst DNS is a black are of which I am only an apprentice, I managed to do something right and all is working again, however, there is an issue I cannot work out re a parent nameserver (but browsing & access are not affected).
Thanks for your pointers and help.
