To deny users from telnet, set the shell to /sbin/nologin
To deny users from ftp, use /etc/ftpusers

Make sure /sbin/nologin is in /etc/shells, or people denied from using
telnet will not be able to use ftp either.

(You could use something other than /sbin/nologin as well, just make sure
it terminates.)
