en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_permissions

a unix file can have only one owner and one ownergroup. these decide the 
rights a user has to this file (folders are like files).

for every file an user can be one of three accesses:
owner: the user is the owner and has the rights given by the first three 
bits of accessmask.

the user belongs to the same group than the file (a user can belong to 
multiple groups, he can selct one of his groups to create new files): 
the second three bits decide access

world/otherwise: the last three bits decide access



either you can manage to get the apache-user (=the user who runs the 
apache process) to be your FTP-user

or these two user have a common (first) group and your filemasks 
(apache/TYPO3 and FTP) are 664 / 775

or you need to set 666 / 777 (which is acceptable if you have your own 
server (eg. virtual machine)


for TYPO3 you can configure to use another owner, group, filemask in the 
install tool.
maybe your FTP-programm can set it also. (better solution: settings in 
user-configuration)
