The better solution to my local problem :

I add to file /etc/shells the line "/bin/false" , and configure it with
shell of
user account. The result was that the user account created can use ftp
service but can not use login.

File /etc/shells :

/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/ksh
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh
/bin/false

the line of file /etc/passwd of user account :

paul:xxxxx:111:26:Account Test FTP only:/usr/users/paul:/bin/false
