There is this question on Stack Overflow: What is FTP ACCT command for? The answer is:
USER specifies the user used for authorization. Once authorized the user might need to select between various accounts it has. While this might not be a common use case with most servers, remember that ftp is not only usable for systems where each user has only a single account, but that its a really old protocol and was developed in mind with mainframes, VMS and others which might be different or more flexible when separating authorization and account.
Note: if you find this useful then consider upvoting the original answer on SO.
