it has specfic url requirements so we have a simple iRule on a virtual server, all working fine.

You are correct that FTP will not function properly within an HTTP virtual server.
The good news is that the load balancing you want can be accomplished using built-in product features instead of a rule.
You'll need to create 2 pools, one containing just the webservers, the other containing just the ftp servers. Set the load balancing method to Round Robin for both.
Then create 2 virtual servers, one for HTTP on port 80 with an http profile applied and using the HTTP pool created above as the resource, and one for FTP on port 21 with an ftp profile applied and using the FTP pool created above.
You may need to add persistence and monitors to finalize the configuration, but that's the basic setup.
