I want to bring up an ftp server (probably Pro-FTP).  I do not want to allow

good idea :p

1) Can I create accounts that are only useful for ftp access but cannot be
   used any other way?  So if they tried to ssh (for example) in to the
   system with that account they would be unable to get anywhere?
You can add a normal user, and make their shell /bin/false if they try to ssh/telnet in, they get nowhere :)


2) Can I create a user that is able to administer the ftp server, and create
   accounts for use with that ftp server, but yet cannot do anything else?
   If so, how?
sudo will allow things like that. Also webmin is a browser-based admin package, you can specify users in that and they then have access to specified sections to administer.

TIA!
