1. Change that users home directory to match /var/www (not recommended at all!!)
2. Log in as that user via a shell, create a directory in that users normal home dir called 'var-www' or whatever works for you/them. Then SU to that user and create a symbolic soft link from the newly created directory under the users home dir to the /var/www directory.
You may have to play with the permissions on the /var/www to allow that user to have read/write priviledges.
I would not recommend trying to do this in webmin, as this is not really a webmin issue, but more of a basic system administration/proftp thing.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Hi all,
I created a new user to the proftp, works fine. I would like that user to have full permissions for the /var/www folder and subfolders
How do I do this?
Thanks

easiest two ways:
1. Change that users home directory to match /var/www (not recommended at all!!)
2. Log in as that user via a shell, create a directory in that users normal home dir called 'var-www' or whatever works for you/them. Then SU to that user and create a symbolic soft link from the newly created directory under the users home dir to the /var/www directory.
