not sure about proftp,sorry. But i'd guess point their home directories 
to the one place (or add symlinks to this one place...or however you do 
with proftpd).

Make a group, make yourself a member of the group. then set the sticky 
bit on the folder + other subfolders (man chmod). you may have to modify 
the umask (as seen by ProFTPd of course...maybe a proftpd setting, 
guessing here) to make sure the files are mode 660

are you a member of the group?
what are the rights of the files?
what are the rights of the directory where the files are?
