Is it possible to set the groups shell to /bin/false or /dev/null, and change the ownership and group of the directory to the group? Make sure the directory is in a chrooted directory under the desired file sharing service.
That way, normal users can't shell into it, and the only way in is via the protocol you choose, if you're in that group. Of course, I could be wrong.
