For anyone else (the very rare few) who might have this problem ive now found that it all stems from the Belkin N+ router. The simple fix was to increase the MTU amount to its maximum of 1500.
No idea why this has fixed it but it has. No more connection errors. Hooray!

In reply to: FTP help! Can log in and create folders, then nothing!Still being baffled by this one. I’ve messed about with my router settings no end and even got my IT Support buddy to have a look – he’s convinced it’s firewall related but I’m not so sure as I’ve tried disabling it and forwarding ports 20, 21 and even 22 to be sure!
The plot thickened yesterday when I tried to connect using Diet Coda (iPad app for editing files directly on the server, via FTP). I can log into the server itself and can access OTHER folders and their files, but when it comes to accessing the folder containing the WordPress files, it times out every time. However, when I plug my old router in, I get in no problem. I just do not get it!
I’ve checked and rechecked all router settings between the one that lets me in and the one that doesn’t and I can’t see any differences, apart from the new one is wireless n (even tried disabling that to just b and g, but it had no effect).
I’ve tried setting all files and folders to 777 permissions, but it’s not made a difference so I’ve reverted back to 755.
Throw some more ideas at me if you have any and I’ll give them a whirl!
Thanks again.

In reply to: FTP help! Can log in and create folders, then nothing!Thanks a lot for the reply, I’ll see if changing permissions does anything.
I’ve managed to get my site working now by using my USB Internet dongle, worked perfectly first time. Not really sure to make of that other than there can’t be a problem with my host but maybe there is a problem with my router or ISP? The router I use I a Belkin n+, which I bought to replace the crummy one my ISP sent me. Aside from changing the wireless name and password it’s entirely as it came from the manufacturer!
Is there anything I should be asking my ISP or any settings on my router that could be causing this?
Thanks again
