On my Android devices (Sony phone and Samsung tablet, both Android 16) 
the I select "File transfer" rather than "PTP", and I can navigate 
anywhere. ISTRT the required setting on an earlier device was "MTP".

PTP is a rather more specialized (i.e. limited) protocol and seems to be 
designed to enable the PC to use the phone as a digital camera -- you'd 
have to be running something on the PC that understood cameras rather 
than a general-purpose file manager.
