This is exactly what I needed. I gave the user a /bin/false shell, and
then in /etc/proftp.conf, I added an anonymous section for that user
such that a password is required, but a valid shell is not. ProFTPd
takes care of the rest. Perfect!
Thanks for all of the responses from all of you. Quick, useful conversations
like this are one of the things that makes using Debian enjoyable. ;-)
