The way I solved this for myself is I don't run an FTP daemon, but I do
run OpenSSH.  This allows users to access their shells and SFTP and SCP
as needed.

adding a web user?

I would like one of my friends to host some files on my apache
webserver, but I only wish him the ability to upload files into the
web directory, but don't want to run an FTP server since that is very
risky. Any solution?

You can create a normal account for him and only allow scp/sftp over ssh.
Take a look at the `scponly' package.
