Point you your shell for the user to /usr/bin/false This will allow ftp access only. You will need to create a file called /etc/shells and place all relevant shells for your system in it. See below examples. The rest of the user information like uid etc can be anything.


/sbin/sh
/bin/sh
/usr/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/usr/bin/csh
/bin/ksh/
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/false

Just create the user and give the /usr/bin/false as their shell. This will deny them shell access to the server.

Make sure that/usr/bin/false is in the file /etc/shells otherwise ftp will not allow them to connect.
