[NBLUG/talk] Permissions question

I am running Apache and my Web root is

/home/httpd/

I want to give a user ftp ability into a Web directory so I create a 
user, "brianpics" with his home directory, "/home/httpd/brianpics".

The folder is owned by "brianpics" and the group is "adm" with privileges

drwxrwxr--

I cannot remember the parameter in Apache, however it makes it so a user 
cannot change directories above his.

Here is the problem:  brianpics cannot get into ftp unless I make him a 
member of "adm".  That I do not want to do.

Am I missing something simple here?
