Unless you're installation of TYPO3 is personal (that is not shared with 
other customers), you may ask to run TYPO3 with suphp, which will force 
a given user to run the PHP scripts, instead of their nobody.nobody. 
However, I would ask them to change ownership of your whole directory to 
nobody.nobody instead, if you do not need a direct access to your 
website but with the TYPO3 backend (thus no FTP anymore).

You would not have any problem after that.
