You are correct.  To verify my own assumptions, I created a local integration test for this scenario, and found that it was not working as I had expected; the hard limit was not being enforced for SFTP uploads.

I discovered the cause, and filed an issue for this:

  https://github.com/proftpd/proftpd/issues/2098

I'll have it fixed shortly in master, and will backport the fix to the 1.3.9 branch.

Cheers,
TJ
