Giving existing user access on ftp

Hi all,
I have a project on going that combines two different departments. I cannot give detais on this project, Iīm sure everybody understands that, but I would like your help on giving me pointers on how to give an existing user access to ftp, without the need to give him full access. So here are the steps I took:
First I created this ftpuser with its own home directory
Code:
sudo useradd -d /home/ftpuser -m ftpuser

Them I wanted to give him access, but I didnīt want to give him full access using this code:
Code:
ftpuser ALL=(ALL) ALL

Donīt even know if this would work....
Anyway, I look on the net a way to give access to a user using chmod command, and I did found lots of interresing things, but not exactly what I had in mind. So please, can you help me?
Advanced thanksSmilie

The ones currently supported are: alpha This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA". The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used. This is the default code set. numeric This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician. This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC".
