According to the Proftpd docs, you can simply add a <Limit LOGIN> section to 
the virtualhost section for that site and immediately shutdown all FTP to 
that site:

<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1>
ServerName "My virtual FTP server"
<Limit LOGIN>
DenyAll
</Limit>
.....
</VirtualHost>

Just tested it against a site here and it works...
