No. The local side in FileZilla just shows you what your local File Manager (Explorer, Finder, or the one of your Linux distro, depending on OS) would show. FTP is NOT a Peer-To-Peer protocol and you do NOT open your files to anyone by using FileZilla Client.

tl;dr: FTP is not like Torrent, pr0n is safe. :D
