I experimented with this quite a while ago (~ 2001) and don't remember all the 
details, but I used scponly and had to prevent the "Welcome to FreeBSD..." 
text from being shown. That was the message too long problem IIRC. It worked 
with at least WinSCP and gFTP as clients.

You could also consider pulling an stunnel over ordinary ftpd and have no shh 
access at all except for people who need or are granted shell access. It's 
not hard to set up, you basically deal with it as if it were a proxy.

HTH,

Dan
