A user can always give away her files to someone else, but can't reclame it
back later. You can give full access to the webserver as giving rights to it's
group, which seems to be nobody (some old installations of Apache did use
nobody as user/group).

You can give full access to everyone too, but then you can get more troubles
if there are users playing around on the ftp.
