Do you have any server firewall installed on your VPS? If yes then you can open ports from there.

John brings up a great point. This is totally dependent on if you have a firewall or not.

Hello,
if you are using the Linux server then use this command

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 21(Replace your port number) -j ACCEPT

To open port on server you must have root permissions first.
If you have that then you can add your port numbers to firewall configuration file to make them open.

First, right-click “Inbound Rules” and select “New Rule…” Choose the type of rule to setup. We are defining a specific Port number. Type the port number your application uses, and choose TCP or UDP protocol (most applications use TCP).
