Capture FTP address

I have an application that needs to download files from an FTP site. It is not spyware. I need to figure out the address it it trying to go to so that I may re-direct it. How can I capture the outgoing call to an FTP server from this application?

Alternatively, you could use Sysinternals' TcpView utility: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx

This will show you any remote address that is being contacted from your system. Unfortunately, the programme doesn't log closed connections, but usually a connection attempt lasts long enough to write the address down or make a screenshot.

Unselect "Show unconnected endpoints" and you will not be distracted by too many data.
