    its only possible if you're letting your staff to upload to
    brand new root or clean subfolder/directory.

    you can specify the folder/dir name when setting up new ftp.
    however you can limit permissions

    So you mean it's impossible to limit the privilege for the exsiting directory files?

    yes.from what i know, in Cpanel (bluehost uses it) there is no option to limit and restrict usage as in allow only uploading, downloading.

    what you can do is, make a FTP account based on a Sub Dir(so that wont be able to see either things so they cant edit or remove) and then everyday, you can move the files to someplace you want or let it remain there.

    I cant think of any otehr solution with Cpanel.
