Is there a good FTP Daemon that can be recommended for this purpose?
pure-ftpd seams out of development since 2006.

I am just now looking into mysql support for pure ftpd. One solution I
have in mind is to write the password into the pureftp DB upon signup.
That would be the easiest. The other solution to write to a conf file
would be OK, too. What do you think?
I would look real seriously at making sure both the FTP software, and
your website use the same authentication database. Even if it means
having to go with a different FTP server, or write your own. That way,
if they change their password on the web site, it will update it for the
FTP automatically as well.
Other then that, No real info to include to help... Sorry for that.

I did this with vsftp and with local user account access turned on.
Basically, I had php exec out and create a user, set their password,
etc, which would then allow them to ftp in. It was a bit of a nightmare
getting the access levels right (as the client wanted them to not only
be able to access their own home share but other areas as well, which
would all change) but it seems to be working out nicely.

I've done similar however opted to make proper shell users with there
own home directory; made a couple of nice code snippets that helped
things greatly (for a ubuntu box)
// creates a new 8 char random password and returns
// both the plain text and encrypted pass
$pass_parts = explode(" ", $pass = shell_exec('makepasswd --crypt-md5
--minchars=8 --maxchars=8'));
$settings['pass_plain'] = trim($pass_parts[0]);
$settings['pass_enc'] = trim($pass_parts[1]);
// creates a new user ($settings['user']) on the box with password
// from above, using SKEL_DIR
shell_exec("echo 'pass' | sudo useradd -g GROUP -m -k ".SKEL_DIR."
-p".escapeshellcmd(trim($settings['pass_enc']))." ".$settings['user'].'');
note: makepasswd is an optional package
