Thanks for all who replied:

Solution:

Create a file called /etc/shells with all the shells in your system on it:

ls -la /bin/*sh | awk -F" " '{print $9}' > /etc/shells

then add /bin/false and /bin/true to it

and assign it as a shell to a particular user

usermod -s /bin/true (user)

the user will not be able to telnet or ssh but will be able to ftp

Thanks to all.
