I would not reccomend setting up a root ftp account for many reason first of all sending a password over ftp protocal is in plain text and isnt secure to use let alone on a root accessable account. Secondly if you upload any files via this account they will not function correctly without changing the file's group and owner.

But you can use SFTP (FTP over SSH), which is secure. Windows client: http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/ (it can do FTP also, but don't use that)

To get write access to all domains you could enable root login, or you could make a user that is a member of all the groups you need.

canislupusyo has a good point about file ownership, though...a cron job can make sure files in those folders are chown'ed to their proper user/group regularly.
