Highly-restricted user accounts?

I have a need to create a user account (several, actually) that can *only*
be used to ftp files from certain remote systems.

In other words, there's a remote system that I want to be able to ftp files
to my system. I want to create an account that can *only* be used for that
purpose, and only by that one remote system. If I could further restrict it
to certain users on that remote system, all the better, but that's not
specifically required.

In still more other words, any attempt to use this account for any other
purpose, from any other remote system, with anything other than ftp, or via
interactive login, should fail.

uh, where do I start? I'm working with both V4.0G and V5.1, both with
enhanced security.

If puns were deli meat, this one would be the wurst.
