Linux (Debian) ProFTPD with GADMIN, Allow users to write to directories/subdirectories with FTP?

I installed GAdmin with ProFTPD on my debian 5 system, setup a virtual user, I added a home directory and set the permissions through the GUI to allow everything, write, rename etc. This allows the user to upload into that home directory, but if they browse to a sub directory they cannot upload. How do I make it so that they can upload and delete files to all the subdirectories within a specific directory?
The first answer didn’t work. The problem is i cannot upload files to subdirectories through FTP.

It means one of 2 things:
1. If files you UPLOAD you cant open, go to the config file, and near the first few top lines type umask 664
2. If you cant VIEW subdirectories you have already created, that means you dont, or the logged in user doesnt have proper permissions. This means you need to change the permissions on the folder so that you, your group, and everyone else can view and access the folder.
In a terminal type umask 777 [path to directory]
hope this works for you!
