Is SmartFtp spyware ? My firewall notices calls to www.smartftp.com

Why is SmartFtp client calling smartftp server ?

My firewall pops up telling me that there are outgoing connections from SmartFtp Client to its home page.

Is it some kind of spyware?

Is there a way to disable it?

Hi, SmartFTP is not spyware, the only reason of that can be if you are ussing port mode and the external repeater to get your public ip, changing to pasv removes that connection.

Also the automatic update check will occasionally connect to the SmartFTP server. You can disable the update check in the Menu: Tools->Settings "Advanced" dialog.
