Well, I fingered it out. For sake of consistency and conformity, I made a 
soft link to /usr/local/bin/bash in /bin/bash
Then in /etc/shells I used /bin/bash
As soon as I added /usr/local/bin/bash to /etc/shells, ftp worked fine. 
Thanks for your efforts and a pitfall for others to be aware of. Damn them 
dirty links.
