To do that you can comment out the ftpServer bean section in {configRoot}/alfresco/bootstrap-context.xml

Note though that you can also change the port of the FTP server if you're just trying to free port 21. That can be done in file-servers.xml

Hope this helps.

Do you if there is a way to just turn on only for a specific group?

FTP (and for that matter CIFS and WebDAV) respects the same access restrictions and permissions you set up on spaces using the Web Client. Under the hood, all these interfaces use the same repository services that are transactional and secure.
