Unless you jail the environment of ftp daemon, user will have permissions of standard unix user and they can move around the system.. You can use something like defaultroot under proftpd(Never used wu-ftpd) and/or choose higher level of system security where permissions are restrictd. e.g. On mandrake with medium security a user can not get listing of /etc,/usr/bin etc. Basically it's possible. Reconfigure wu-ftpd and go thr. docs.(Nothing new really..)
