It depends on which FTP server you have.  On all, you can simply disable
write privileges to the directory and files within it for whatever user
runs the FTP server.

wu-ftpd from memory had an ACL system that let you specify permissions
the ftp server would adhere to.

proftpd lets you enable/disable individual FTP commands like PUT and
WRITE on a per-directory basis.
