Thanks to all those on this list that gave me some help. I re-read the
ftpd man page more closesly and ended up adding /sbin/nologin to the
/etc/shells file, adding the user in question to /etc/ftpchroot and making
the user's homedirectory the directory where I wanted things dropped off.

This got the job done, thanks again.
