How about the following? (stolen from the lukemftpd manpage)
~ftp/pub This directory and the subdirectories beneath it
should be owned by the users and groups responsible
for placing files in them, and be writable only by
them (mode 755 or 775). They should not be owned or
writable by ftp or its group.
