I supose you could create the accounts without access to a shell by using
"/bin/false" or you could go for an ftp server such as glftpd
(www.glftpd.com) wich will not even require unix accounts.

Ed.

You might try wuftpd which comes with almost all the distros, where
you have to assign /bin/noaccess shell to that account. Then write a
nullshell script.

#!/bin/sh
echo "This is for ftp only"

and please add /bin/noaccess in /etc/shells ...

make the user's shell "/sbin/nologin" in /etc/password
