Hi Frank,
Why not ssh? If you use sftp then the ssh is transparent....
Strictly speaking, the solution to your problem already exists, and it's sftp (& ssh).
But if you
can't install it on your system for some reason, then maybe a wrapper for ftp that you
could write
yourself? You could use it instead of (or before, or after) tcpd (if you use inetd or
xinetd.
My 2 cents,
