The easiest way (but not the ultimate one) is rsync the files as root.
Root can both change the ownership and permissions of files. To do it
more securely I'd recommend to disable password login for user root via ssh.

Another (IMHO better) way is to try such configuration:

/opt/www owned by user2 and group ie. webmasters, chmod 2770 /opt/www
and add user apache to group webmasters. Then, under /opt/www all files
will be owned by user2:webmasters. If apache is to modify some files,
they must be group-writable.
