ProFTP - Directory That's Accessible By 2 Users, Read Only For One

I'm trying to set up a directory in ProFTP that 2 users can access. 1 user should have full control and the other should have read-only access.

<Directory /path/to/access>
HideFiles ^\.!$
<Limit WRITE>
IgnoreHidden on
AllowUser user1
</Limit>
</Directory>

I've tried different variations of the limit syntax and I can't seem to get it working properly. I either end up giving both users full control or they both can't access it.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John
 
I would think more along the lines of groups. Both users would belong to a secondary group. That way you can give the owner full access and the group whatever you want.
 
You can set permission in directory or permission based in groups.
