I haven't done it, but you should be able to do this on a binary split
basis with vsftpd. Do man vsftpd.conf and look at the ftp_user and
guest_user descriptions. You can give them different abilities, so the
people you want to have restricted write ability become anonymous
ftp_users (still with password), and the people you want to have full
write ability become guest users. It doesn't appear to support per user
permissions, though there is something in the man about allowing people
who have permissions on a directory to alter it. Maybe you can create
users for your function, give them the permissions you want, and have
your user a and b login with the created roles. You'd have to play
around, I haven't.
