Hello speakup,
I have an account that I want to be usable from ftp but not shell.
Is there a way of disabling shell access?

There are several ways of doing so. One of which I can think of, is to
change that account's shell to /bin/false in /etc/passwd. The only
problem with doing this is that some Ftp daemons require that the
account have a valid shell.

You can put /bin/false in the file /etc/shells, and that will make the FTP
daemon consider it valid. The drawback to this is, now a user could
change their shell to /bin/false, and then they wouldn't be able to log
in.

Do do that, you type as rot:
usermod -s /sbin/nologin username
Where username is the acount.
Thanks,
