How can I set up a new user so that they have FTP access into their home
directory, but can't telnet into the same server?

Is there a way of restricting FTP directory access so that they can go down
into the directory tree, but not up into /home?

TIA

Give them a non-existant shell (and add it to /etc/shells).

Yes, ftpd do a chroot for members of certain groups. Read the man page
for ftpaccess.

Review the login(1) manpage and look specifically at the section on the
/etc/login.access file.

Review the ftp(8) manpage and review the section on the /etc/ftpchroot
file.
