can't connect to host with macafee 2005

I am trying to use smartftp and it is not working. I have used it several times before. The only thing different I've done is update my macafee virus protection program and added firewall. I have completely disabled the macafee and it still doesn't work. The ftp is telling me the host is rejecting me or that it is timing out. Do you know how I can fix this?

Hi do you have added SmartFTP to your firewall exceptions list?

Hi i have tested SmartFTP with the default configuration of Mcafee Internet Security Suite 7.00 (2005) and it works fine.
