One of th emost used practices are

in /etc/passwd
the shell of the people who can not use ssh
or /bin/false which means no login
or /bin/ftponly for people who can not log in but can use ftp

and /bin/ftponly a script which shows a warning that you are not allowd

simpy

echo "you have no access to this by ssh , only ftp"

and for more security you can use trap so they aint able to stop the
script with ctrl-c or something like that
