Out of the box, Snow Leopard FTP server doesn't allow loopback FTP access, it give an error:
"Address family not supported by protocol family"
The following Apple Support article details the behavior: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3086
The fix is:
sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add :Sockets:Listeners:SockFamily string IPv4" /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/xftpd.plist The best thing about this: there is actually a program in libexec called PlistBuddy.
