I don't know filezilla, but for example in winscp you need the option 
'SFTP only' to make it work. Otherwise winscp will try to start a 
regular shell first.

what is the error in the logs? (be sure that you have enabled logging 
inside your jail)

this will work for example if you have your passwords in ldap. Not if 
your passwords are in /etc/shadow, because /etc/shadow is not available 
in the jail.
