Provided that one ftp account has permissions to both read from the source directory and write to the destination directory you can ftp files within the same computer.
To copy files from one ftp account to another ftp account on the same computer would either mean setting up a ftp proxy server on the target computer or perhaps making use of some intermediate workspace on the remote server and coping each file twice.
Off topic:
Is this the same server which you can only access with ftp? Your recent posts suggest that you expect ftp to offer the same options as a full shell user.
We assume that all computers involved are running unix. Any chance that you can get a proper unix shell account with rcp, remsh etc.?

NAME
krb5_auth_rules - Overview of Kerberos V5 authorization
DESCRIPTION
When a user uses kerberized versions of the ftp, rdist, rcp, rlogin, rsh, or telnet clients to connect to a server, even if the user's
claimed Kerberos V5 identity is authenticated, the user is not necessarily authorized. Authentication merely proves that the user is "who
he says he is" to the Kerberos V5 authentication system. Authorization also needs to be done, since it determines if that Kerberos identity
is permitted to access the Solaris user account that the client wants to access.
Each user may have a private authorization list in a file ~/.k5login in his login directory (on the server). Each line in this file should
contain a Kerberos principal name of the form principal/instance@realm. If the server finds a ~/.k5login file, then access is granted to
the account if and only if the originating user is authenticated to one of the principals named in the ~/.k5login file.
If there is no ~/.k5login file, the originating user will then be checked against the gsscred table (see gsscred(1M)). If the originating
user's Kerberos V5 identity is in the gsscred table, and if the UNIX user id in the gsscred table corresponds to the user account the
client is trying access, then the originating user is granted access to the account on the server. If the UNIX user id does not match, then
the originating user is denied access.
For example, suppose the originating user has a principal name of jdb@ENG.ACME.COM and the target account is jdb-user. If jdb@ENG.ACME.COM
appears in the gsscred table with uid 23154 and if jdb-user appears in the user account database (see passwd(4)) with uid 23154, then
access to account jdb-user is granted. Of course, normally, the target account name in this example would be jdb and not jdb-user.
Finally, if there is no ~/.k5login file and if the originating user's Kerberos V5 identity is not in the gsscred table, then the user will
be granted access to the account if and only if all of the following are true:
o The user part of the authenticated principal name is the same as the target account name specified by the client.
o The realm part of the client and server are the same.
o The target account name exists on the server.
For example, if the originating user has a principal name of jdb@ENG.ACME.COM and if the server is in realm SALES.ACME.COM, then even if
jdb is a valid account name on the server, the client would be denied access. This is because the realms SALES.ACME.COM and ENG.ACME.COM
differ.
FILES
~/.k5login Per user-account authorization file.
/etc/passwd System account file. This information may also be in a directory service. See passwd(4).
