Stupid questions are only those which we are never about to ask.
You want to give a user access only to his www directory so that he
will not be able to see anything else (other www dirs etc.) just one
with his site? Well you can consider using ProFTPD and chroot that user
to his directory.
ProFTPD can be found at:
/usr/ports/ftp/proftpd
Maybe you would like to use mysql to store user data in database, then
you should go for:
/usr/ports/ftp/proftpd-mysql
For sure there are many alternatives out there.
Cheers,
Martin
