    Stupid questions are only those which we are never about to ask.

    You want to give a user access only to his www directory so that he
    will not be able to see anything else (other www dirs etc.) just one
    with his site? Well you can consider using ProFTPD and chroot that user
    to his directory.

    ProFTPD can be found at:
    /usr/ports/ftp/proftpd

    Maybe you would like to use mysql to store user data in database, then
    you should go for:
    /usr/ports/ftp/proftpd-mysql

    For sure there are many alternatives out there.
