Well, some more info about the server is needed.
Is it just a Mac OS X client, without additional software? Or a Mac OS X Server? Or something else? And which version?


Just a connection between 2 eMacs running 10.4.7 (not server)


Hmm... strange...
As far as I know, a stock install Mac OS X client with FTP enabled (through the sharing panel) doesn't jail users: they should be able to see the whole filesystem hierarchy.
But this contradicts the previous information...
Didn't you use some configuration software?


Anyway, could you try following experiment as soon as you have the opportunity to do some testings again?

At your client computer, in a window of Terminal.app, just type (with the correct name of course):
ftp computerName.local
You should then be consecutively prompted to enter the remote user name, then his password.
If successful, an FTP session is opened: you should see a greeting banner from the server, and then a prompt awaiting an FTP command.
At the prompt, type:
pwd
The server should reply with the path to the directory at which the remote user is currently located (the "Working Directory", hence the "wd").
To end the FTP session, just type:
quit
at the prompt.
What are the greeting message and the current directory?


Yes, I know... this could be viewed as really OT. But, before incriminating URL Access (which, as other already noticed here, often proved problematic), one needs to be sure of what's exactly happening on the server side!

HTH,
Axel
