I'm a newbie with FTP/User permissions. We are a magazine, and we have an ad server where all the advertisers place their ads each month. As of now, the primary user, advertiser, has all read/write/execute permissions, so any advertiser can get/delete anyone else's files.
What I'd like to do is set it so there is the admin (me), who has read/write/execute permission, and the subuser, advertiser, who can only upload files onto the site, with no permission to delete (or even view, if possible) anyone else's files.

Depends on the operating system of the server and what ftp server software you are using. You'll probably find *nix operating systems to be a bit more flexible on the permissions.
If you want it to be truly secure, give each client their own login with their own unique folder.
