Ok, good point to check.     
    
If it doesn't work, it should be added (not very difficult though, it's a     
central component that handles all file retrieval in smart).

Tell me what is different than (my firewall maybe)?

If the home for 'apt4rpm' is '/home/apt4rpm', and the ftp server isn't 
chrooted, the above url would point to the root of the server. If that 
is the case, you should use the full path.

This probably worked because it did "cd apt4rpm", and not 
"cd /apt4rpm" (smart interprets ftp://[host][/fullpath]).
