Okay, thank you for informationm, then marco should be able to do what he wants in /var/www and it subfolders (html in debian, it is like public_html), but /var/www/html is onwed by www-data/apache.
should I then assign user apache to proftpd or I should somehow assign www folder to marco? but then in first case, I should make password for user apache and I don't think it is good. any advice?

ftpscrub(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       ftpscrub(8)

NAME

       ftpscrub - scrub the proftpd scoreboard file of stale entries

SYNOPSIS

       ftpscrub

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpscrub command provides a way to scrub the scoreboard file on demand, at times which suit the site best.  This should be run periodi-
       cally on sites which run proftpd in inetd mode.

OPTIONS

       -h,--help   Display a short usage description, including all available options.

       -f,--file scoreboard-file
		   Specify the full path to proftpd's run-time scoreboard file (configured via the ScoreboardFile directive in proftpd.conf ).	If
		   proftpd's  default  directory  has  been changed via this directive, ftpscrub must either be recompiled, or this option must be
		   used in order to find proftpd's scoreboard.

       -v,--verbose
		   Reports additional information while scrubbing the scoreboard.

FILES

       /usr/sbin/ftpscrub
       /var/run/proftpd.scoreboard
