Looking at your Mac's spec I'll assume you are using Tiger

Go to System Preferences > Sharing and switch on FTP access from the Services tab

If another user connects to the mac using your Mac username and password they will be able to see your entire home folder.

To create other login Users with more restricted access check out PureFTP

PureFTPd Manager for Mac OS X
