   hmm... how would that stop users from running programs they copied onto my
   server? 

If they can't copy them, how will they run them?  Disable ftpd and
don't give them access to very many commands (not cc or ftp or chmod,
certainly) and they can't copy anything or create anything runnable,
therefore they can't run anything you don't want them to.
