Do you know of any good FTP-access interface, where I can create users, give them permissions, upload files, etc. all in a simple page UI, similar to a file browser, but I should be able to give the link to anyone with a log-in and they can only see and manipulate their own folder, again in a nice UI with toolbar icons.
WebDAV also works.

Creating Drupal users for File transfer can be very cumbersome for an average user. e.g.: you can't specify individual folders to each user and hide all other folders from them (or can you?)
You need to give some users Delete access others not, Roles will not work if you have 100s of users, with different permissions, who will use this system.

If you want to use Drupal for other purposes then I would consider using a content type with a file field for the upload. You can configure the file field so it puts the file in a folder per user. By only allowing people the permission to delete their own content (of the type created for this), you can associate the permission with a single role for those you want to be able to delete the content/file.
As an alternative to using a content type there is the File entity
