    Yes i would like to get an FTP account for the root user.

    I need it to edit the skeleton directory or is that done in another way?

    Go on, have a guess
    You should never ever give root FTP access, it's a huge security risk. If you want to use FTP use SFTP (FTP over an SSH connection) with a tool such as WinSCP or Filezilla (both free).
