FTDNA tests around 700,000 SNPs
You can not get a very accurate comparison between two people when only comparing 160,000 SNPs.
23andmeV4 contained approx 312,000 SNPs that can be used by FTDNA. One only could receive partial match lists at FTDNA, No distant matches
23andmeV3 contained approx 690,000 SNPs that can be used by FTDNA. This version received full match lists at FTDNA
As you see, 23andme, with each newer version, started testing different SNPs. FTDNA can not compare their SNPs to 23andme if the SNPs are not the same (SNP name and position) .
