$ man ftpd

[...]

     The file /etc/nologin can be used to disable ftp access.  If the file
     exists, ftpd displays it and exits.  If the file /etc/ftpwelcome exists,
     ftpd prints it before issuing the ``ready'' message.  If the file
     /etc/motd exists, ftpd prints it after a successful login.

[...]

     Ftpd authenticates users according to three rules.

           1.   The login name must be in the password data base, /etc/passwd,
                and not have a null password.  In this case a password must be
                provided by the client before any file operations may be per-
                formed.

           2.   The login name must not appear in the file /etc/ftpusers.

[...]

FILES
     /etc/ftpusers    List of unwelcome/restricted users.
     /etc/ftpwelcome  Welcome notice.
     /etc/motd        Welcome notice after login.
     /etc/nologin     Displayed and access refused.
