I'm running proftpd on my debian server, and all users are managed through ftpdb in mysql. Currently i am trying to hide specific folders from specific user that i have.

I've tried to add the following to my proftpd conf file:

<Directory />
HideFiles (\-specific)$ 
</Directory>

and its hiding all folders that contain "-specific" in its name, but they are hidden from all users. Any help will be well appreciated. Thank you!

The best way to limit the actions of a user is to use the Limit directive:

 <Directory /myfolder>
   <Limit DIRS>
      DenyUser bob
   </Limit>
 </Directory>

See more information on the Limit and Directory directives in the proftpd howto.
