ftpusers file is used to prevent logins.

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ftpd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.2-RELEASE&format=html

is your user's shell (i.e: bash) in /etc/shells ?

FreeBSD's stock ftpd requires the user's shell to be in /etc/shells in
order to login.  See
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=getusershell&sektion=3&apropos=0&manpath=FreeBSD+7.2-RELEASE



Documentation is great.  RTFM
