Another way is to use wu-ftpd, and "man ftpaccess"

:No, they can go into other people's directories by default.  The default
:umask on FreeBSD is 022, which means that all users files
:(with certain exceptions like .rhosts and others) are 644 and directories
:are 755.  Both of which are world readable.  I typically change the umask
:for my account to 027, that way others in the wheel group can see files I
:create, but others cannot.

:For more information on the way modes work, you should read the chmod and
:umask man pages.
