I have used Ipswich WS-FTP to upload my robots.txt file to the same folder as my index.html file.
However when I tested it with the Google Analyse robots.txt - it still states my pages are 'Allowed'.
Where do you think I have gone wrong?
Sorry for being so lame, but this is all so new to me...

"Where do you think I have gone wrong?"

How can we tell, since you've not told us what your file looks like?

Reading that previous thread it seems that your file is called "appears as: robots.txt.txt" (Copied and pasted from your own answer).
Perhaps you should try renaming it to "robots.txt"
