I'm having the exact same problem, except that from your post I gather you've just started using SmartFTP, whereas I've been using it for quite a long time and it just conked out on me a day or two ago.
I don't get why it's doing this, because I haven't changed any settings or anything. I even tried downloading the latest version, but that doesn't seem to have helped. I don't believe it's my webhost, either, as I've tried logging into a friend's FTP, and I get the same error.
Is there anything that can fix this? I'll have to find a new program if I can't sort this out, and I really don't want to! I do adore SmartFTP.

I'm getting the same thing. Long time user, and all of a sudden it won't connect. I tried upgrading to the newest version and same results. Tried several different FTP sites but to no avail. It gets through the login and password, but once it tries to establish a data connection, it just fizzles...

Ohh, I should've posted here and mentioned that my problem had been resolved.
I asked my host about what could be wrong and she mentioned the possibility that I had a firewall activated that was blocking the connection, and whaddayaknow, it was that exactly. It didn't even occur to me to consider that an option as we always keep those things studiously switched off in this household, but when I checked it, it was switched on!
So I deactivated it and was immediately able to connect!
Maybe that's the problem you guys are having, too?
Either way, so much for support forums.

How can you expect help if you do not even follow the public support forum guidelines? We simply do not have the time to ask people over and over again to post all the necessary information.
