If your software firewall does not work with SmartFTP make sure you have the latest update of the firewall software installed.

We strongly recommend to use the integrated firewall in Windows if you use Windows Vista or higher.

Note: It is not recommend to have 2 firewall software applications enabled at the same time. Disable one of them. For example if you have Windows XP installed and a 3rd party firewall software, disable the Windows XP firewall.
