I have ProFTPd setup with virtual users and mysql, and when I enable quotas for a user by inserting an entry in the database, it makes it so the user can write files, but cannot read or delete them, they can't even change directory.
# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
