How can I access the Raq3 server root by FTP? Now when FTP to it as the admin I can only see a few files there!

NO!!

Please do not FTP into your Cobalt as root. Sending your root password in plaintext over the Internet is not very wise, and is a sure way to get your machine confiscated.

Logging in via admin isn't a good idea either, since they both use the same password. I recommend downloading a SSH client (like Putty) and logging in to your server that way.

Manny, there are way of doing this however, it is so not recommended that I think you should abandon the idea. If you need something, cp/mv it to/from a directory that you can access via FTP.

you can also chown your file to admin if you need to download/modify/upload-new then chown it back to root.

Enabling your ftp as root.. there are some tips at the cobalts support knowledgebase of how to do it, however it is not recomended.
