I am wanting to limit an account to FTP only, for uploading web pages to a server. I have ftpchroot'ed the account to limit access to the directories I want to - is there any way of disabling all other access (SSH/telnet/rlogin/SMTP auth etc). I thought about removing the shell type from the user account but believe ftpd needs a shell to be specified to validate the logon.
You can use /usr/bin/false or /sbin/nologin as the shell for this FTP user. (Add whichever you use to /etc/shells...)
