1. To allow only FTP access to a share (AFP/FTP/SMB):

$ sharing -e sharename -s 010

2. All the configuration files are in /Library/FTPServer/Configuration

3. “man ftpaccess” had some useful info on the different chrootType values:

   chroot_type standard | homedir | restricted

    Sets  the type of restricted environment the user is under when he
   
    logs on.  standard Allows users to  access  the  ftp  root,  their
   
    homedir,  and  sharepoints.   homedir  Allows  users to access the
   
    their homedir and  sharepoints.   restricted  restricts  users  to
   
    their own home directory.
   

and they all work with serveradmin:

$ serveradmin settings ftp:chrootType = "HOMEDIR"
