I use simple "useradd" (then "passwd").
And I disallowed login to SSH for FTP users.

Pretty much this (or use adduser) but add '/bin/false' to /etc/shells and set their shells to /bin/false

Why don't you search it up on Google?
That's what most of us do when we don't know something, and most of the time, it works.

You just add a new user normally and then u edit the config. There might be a special group you need to put the user in tho

useradd -M -s /bin/false -g ftp_users FTP_USERNAME

passwd FTP_USERNAME

Change FTP_USERNAME to the username you wish to add and I assume that ftp_users is the group for the ftp users, change it to whatever group you want them to belong to. FYI, the M flag does not create a home directory. I'm assuming you want a common ftp directory.

If you wish to completely disable ssh access, append the following to your sshd_config (again assuming that ftp_users the group for the ftp users)

DenyGroups ftp_users

Make sure you set the necessary permissions for your ftp. i.e. set the group of your ftp folder to ftp_users.
