From the "ftpd" man page.

"The user name must be in the password data base, /etc/passwd,and not have a null password"

Sorry about this.

tanks mark you are right! The thing U what is to use ftp with nologin for use i scripts. I would recomment to use scp (sercure copy) with a key or some expect script with hardcoded password (not a nice sollution).
