I think you should mention the name of the ftp server software you are using. If you are using ftp to upload files to /var/www, I don't think it will have anything to do with Apache (as far as security or upload management is concerned).
If have not installed ftp server software yet, a quick search on Debian Packages led me to proftpd. If you wish to use SSL to protect the password, then you might want to look at ftpd-ssl.
