There are a few possibilities so you might want to open and close CuteFtp several times, running netstat after each time you open CuteFtp. The connections that you are looking for will be stigmatized by the port number 1975, a rather unusual port number. Most sites that you surf to will return a port number of 80, ftp, and telnet connections will say ftp, and telnet respectively. I'm not sure if SMTP will say smtp or 25 which is it's standard assigned port, but you can find that out on your own. Anyway, a port number of 1975 is very interesting, indeed.
Lets investigate further.
Aureate Media snoop the site and see what you can learn about them. Don't forget to write that toll free telephone number and a name or two down. We are going to use the phone to shine a little light on all of this. But first lets see what else we can find out. Keeping playing with CuteFtp and netstat off and on.
