Not sure exactly how you configure it in proftpd, but make those 10 users
part of the same *primary* group (ie, the one in /etc/passwd) then set
their umask so that newly created files are group read/write.
I think (but am not sure) that you might be able to do this through
proftpd. I know that in samba, I can force new files/directory
permissions regardless of the user's umask.
good luck.
