Change the shell of the users who you don't want to allow interactive
logins (ssh and telnet) to something that will disallow them shell
access, such as /bin/true (or /bin/nologin, i think someone once
suggested). Add that shell to /etc/shells, so that the ftp daemon will
see it as a valid shell and allow them ftp access.

I don't know how you'd do it for groups, but this certainly works on a
per-user basis.

cheers,
