If you're talking about sftp, then normally these account require a valid login shell. Which is bad if you're trying to restrict them to just sftp. You'll need to compile and use a tool like scponly, which provides a replacement shell. It offers the ability to chroot an account, just like normal ftp:

ftpwho
ftpwho(1) General Commands Manual ftpwho(1)
NAME
ftpwho - show current process information for each FTP session
SYNOPSIS
ftpwho
DESCRIPTION
The ftpwho command shows process information for all active proftpd connections, and a count of all connected users off of each server.
Proftpd sesssions spawned from inetd are counted separately from those created by a master proftpd standalone server.
OPTIONS
-h,--help Display a short usage description, including all available options.
-f,--file scoreboard-file
Specify the full path to proftpd's run-time scoreboard file (configured via the ScoreboardFile directive in proftpd.conf ). If
proftpd's default directory has been changed via this directive, ftpwho must either be recompiled, or this option must be used
in order to find proftpd's scoreboard.
-o,--outform format
Specify an output format. Currently, two "formats" are supported: compat and oneline. The compat format is used for backward
compatibility. The oneline format causes all of the fields for a session to be displayed on a single line, for ease of line-
based searches (e.g. grep).
-v,--verbose
Reports additional information for each connection, such as the remote host and current working directory. -S,--server
server-name Specify the ServerName for a specific virtual host. If used, ftpwho will only show session information for the
given virtual host.
FILES
/usr/bin/ftpwho
/var/run/proftpd.scoreboard
