Turning off SSH for a user... FTP troubles

[samcan]

I have a user that I want to give FTP access to WITHOUT SSH access...
When SSH i enabled the user can comfortably user the FTP server (vsftpd) but when I disable SSH for the user account (See below) I get a 530 login failed .

I've been turning off SSH for the user by modifying /etc/passwd:
From:
user.../bin/sh
To:
user..../bin/false


Any ideas of why the user can't login to teh FTP server when SSH has been disabled?

Thanks for the help!

By changing /bin/sh to /bin/false you are denying login of all types. This will not only prevent ftp access but the ability to run any command. You can edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and add the parameter

As necessary for your user names. Don't forget to restart sshd.
