If you don't care (very very bad), set mode 1777 and ownership ftp/nogroup or whomever you want to administer the directory. You can lock out deletins/moves/etc. by setting to moe 1766 and own it yourself but no own by ftp. /incoming directories are dangerous, make sure you know what you are getting into.
