In /etc/proftpd.conf change the line:

AllowChmod     false

to:

AllowChmod true


Note that this is templated, so I recommend either updating the master template itself, or, creating a custom template.  When you add new ibays this configuration will be overwritten.

Better make a custom template for this.

Better still, don't do it. It decreases the security of the server. Home directories are provided for private files, i-bays are provided for shared files.

Sorry, I thought that he would like to change the ftp settings so that the users can use the ftp feature to make chmod with a ftp programm in an ibay.

Yes, that's what I thought as well. My advice remains - don't do that - use i-bays instead.
