I want the people that have access to the particular subdirectories to be able to read and write, but not delete------for now, until I get a grip on how all this works.

Thanks
Well a few things.
1.) If you setup password protected directories using control panel those are most likely http (web) rather than ftp .
2.) Smart FTP doesn't control permissions. Permissions are generally set based on the directory that you are in.
3.) Understanding file permissions link is here.
4.) Giving someone R/W permissions allows delete as well. You could set permissions so that they could only delete their own files though.
