I'd prefer to have people be able to connect via SFTP, but it looks like doing this chrooted will be some big huge ugly affair involving setting up jails and using the sftponly shell, which is really more complicated than I think it should be. Is there any way to simply say, "Okay, behave just like ftpd is now, but also allow SFTP connections?"

To avoid confusion, there are two kinds of sftp:
o Secure File Transfer Program -- This is part of SSH and has little to do with the ``real'' FTP but is similar in operation.
o FTP with SSL/TLS encryption added. usually called ftps and more or less the same as https.
I'm not sure which you are using.
For the SSH sftp you can use the
ChrootDirectory option in sshd_config and should be fairly easy to setup.
One advantage of sftp is that you van use ssh-keygen for keys, which is more secure.
