Try http://www.wonko.com/notftp/ if you want a ready to
use PHP Based FTP
client, If you are running on Unix or Open Source there should be FTP
servers available that can authenticate through MySQL.

I tried this recently, But I discovered that this leaves users directories
rather insecure. At least when being used on a web server where users
could upload PHP scripts, since there is nothing to stop them from
uploading scripts that modify other users files.
(see thread "PHP Web Based File Management and Security" in the archives.)
