how the ftponly user change their passwd

[Li Chunbo]

all
I setup some ftp only users, they are real users.
I disable their shell in /etc/passwd file, and
ftp1::999:999: ftp only user:/home/ftp1/./:/usr/sbin/ftpshell

/usr/sbin/ftpshell:
exit 0

/etc/shells:
/usr/bin/sh
.
.
.
/usr/sbin/ftpshell

the ftponly user will be jailed in the home directory
but I don't let the users change thire password by themself.

Don't know how the ftponly users change the password by themself.

You can use Webmin/Usermin to allow users to change their passwords via web interface.

web mode seems good direction

ftp has no password change capability so the users cannot change their own password. And you don't want them to change the password -- they are in a chroot jail because of security reasons, so you change their password for them.
