A common way is to create a specific directory within the
user's home directory, such as

	~/public_html/

which is accessed by the web server to obtain the files to
be served. The user has his regular FTP access to his home
directory, so he can put files into ~/public_html/ or just
create a symlink into this directory from somewhere else in
his home directory.

I haven't done much webserver stuff recently, and I'm not
quite sure I did understand your question correctly, so my
suggestion could already be outdated.
