i'm going package 'proftpd-basic' below suggestions. can substitute script if i've guessed wrong:

first make group starting , stopping ftp, , put users need able start or stop ftp server in group.

if running proftpd standalone server (it listens itself) need set following in /etc/sudoers allow in group use proftpd script:

code:
# ymmv, test before break sudo %ftpteam     all=(all) passwd: /etc/init.d/proftpd start, \                                /etc/init.d/proftpd status, \                                /etc/init.d/proftpd force-start, \                                /etc/init.d/proftpd stop, \                                /etc/init.d/proftpd force-stop, \                                /etc/init.d/proftpd reload, \                                /etc/init.d/proftpd restart, \                                /etc/init.d/proftpd force-reload, \                                /etc/init.d/proftpd check-config
then starting or stopping proftp not need full root access prepend 'sudo'. e.g.

sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart

if using xinetd launch proftpd, solution more complex.

out of curiosity using ftp built-in sftp cannot provide?
