hello, someone correct me if i'm wrong, but if you want to give a real user ftp access he needs shell access. you could create a virtual user with vsftp and deny ssh and ftp access to the real user. but i don't know how this would affect chrooting and permissions. i'm afraid i can't help you with creating virtual vsftp users, i never did it, but i shouldn't be very difficult.
