How To Set Up Admin Account for ProFTPd?

I'm interested in setting up an admin-style user for ProFTPd. What I mean is a user that has access to a certain directory, but can upload, download, create directories etc... I've done a fair ammount of searching for how to do this, though been baffled each time by the ProFTPd documentation.

Anyone forward me to a sample configuration file that allows this, or point me in the general direction? Would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

you mean chroot right ? in the proftpd.conf there should be a chroot setting

# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
#DefaultRoot ~
changes DefaultRoot ~ to DefaultRoot / anyusersyouw antedtosetchroot

where anyusersyouw antedtosetchroot is the name of a group (/etc/group) that contains the users that should be allowed full access.
