Answer
You are currently in the home directory upon login, which corresponds to your new username. You will need to move up in the file directory to see the folders you are used to seeing. By double-clicking the folder above the one with your username, you will reach the root directory. From there, navigate to the /xfer folder. The folders within correspond to specific product areas.
Your SFTP client may also let you save a starting directory: for example, FileZilla lets you save a default remote directory under the Advanced tab of the Site Manager.
