Side-Effect of write access permissions for a subdirectory

Hi Unix Gurus,

I'm a newbie to unix and need some help from you.

I'm going to give full access (777) to a subdirectory to an FTP account.

Let's say the subdirectory is
/usr/local/dir1/dir2/dir3

There are files in dir1, say
a.txt
b.cfg
c.xml

Will this account be able to access and modify the above 3 files lying in one of the parent directory of dir3?

Thanks in Advance!
