I use webdav.  It's http, not FTP, so if that's a requirement....

The other option is to tell them to use their IE  (I assume IE) and
point it to the FTP server like:
ftp://user@server.domain.tld
this should provide a sufficient pointy-clicky interface.

The other option is to use the HTTP file transfer crapola coupled with a
login script and a DB backend to sort out particulars.  This could be
hacked together in any web-script language in a couple hours.

Or, it could be time to apply a liberal does of cluebat.
