If you are talking about the file-server, every file in the ftp account is owned by root, after it gets automatically copied every night from ../pub/uploads to ../pub/downloads. When uploaded, it is owned by ftp as is ONLY the ../pub/uploads directory. This allows somebody to delete a file in the uploads directory if they want. However, after it's been on overnight and it gets moved to ../ftp/downloads, it can't be deleted except by root.
