I just tried and the answer is yes. ;-) But I just realise that the usermod method may not be preferred since the -L parameter is not found in the manpage. Thanks.
BTW, both methods lock shells as well as ftp and sftp. Changing the shell to > /usr/sbin/nologin allows ftp but still prevents sftp. > Is there a method that locks shell but allows ftp and sftp?

But changing the shell to nologin or false will also block sftp access... Regards,
