Add the user in /etc/passwd with a shell /usr/local/bin/nologin.
Create a shell script /usr/local/bin/nologin like this one:

   #!/bin/sh
   cat <<__EOF__
   No interactive login allowed.
   Only ftp access.
   __EOF__
   sleep 5
   exit 0

Add /usr/local/bin/nologin to /etc/shells.

You're done.

Phil.
