The basic idea is to comment out the ftp entry in /etc/inetd.conf then 
cause inetd to reread its configuration or:

$ sed 's/^ftp/\#ftp/' /etc/inetd.conf > /etc/inetd.new # Comment out ftp 
entry in /etc/inetd.conf
$ mv /etc/inetd.new /etc/inetd.conf # Move new file into place
$ net stop inetd # Stop inetd
$ net start inetd # Restart inetd

Note that you could also send a sighup to the inetd to cause it to 
reread it's configuration (of course there are two inetd processes 
running and I'm not sure if you need to send the sighup to both or not).
