They need to have, or install, an FTP server program. Then configure it for Anonymous access to your upload directory. Then ensure it's configured so that the permissions allow write access but not read access. This lets a user upload files, but blocks the server from showing what files are there. This is how Unix/Linux servers do it. For Windows based FTP program there should be something similar in the configuration area. Most FTP server programs only have one anonymous account, and use account names to allow access to multiple directories. If your host already has an anonymous FTP server you might need to pay for an extra allocated IP address to put your FTP server on.
