This would mean your users have at least FTP access to your server -> your users could upload malicious code to web accessible parts of your server and execute it via http -> you lose control of your server

answer: no, that's not possible. Non admins can't use the batch add tool

From the documentation (http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/docs/index.htm#batch_add_pics):
QuoteGiving FTP-access to other users can pose a serious security threat, this is why batch-add is only available for the coppermine gallery admin.
