Assuming you have shell access to the server, you can create a subdirectory such as say, colonel. Then you can create a user named colonel, set his home directory to that directory. Then you can change the permissions to allow only him to write.

I usually use ProFTPd instead of the normal ftp server since it provides much more capabilities in this regard (creating users with write permission, allowing anonymous people to read) without actually create actual users. If you can install it, I can definitely help you set it up.
