pure-ftpd is a lot simpler than many ftp servers.  It uses the permissions of 
the underlying filesystem to determine what 'rights' a user has, with some 
exceptions (uploading, anonymous uploading, etc)

What you'll want to do is have your two users, and set your permissions on the 
directory properly:

users:
ftpuser
ftpmgr

mkdir /path/to/your/ftp/root
chown ftpmgr:users /path/to/your/ftp/root
chmod 0730 /path/to/your/ftp/root

this should allow the ftpmgr user full access to the directory, and anyone in 
the users group can upload and retrieve files, but cannot get a directory 
listing.
