You can turn off
monitoring for FTP inside WHM ...
You can
restart the FTP server inside WHM ....
You can
change the FTP server software in WHM ....
... but there is no way that I know of to
disable FTP from inside WHM
so I think you are a little bit confused because WHM does not provide
any option for disabling, turning off, or otherwise removing the FTP server.
For something like that, you would have to do that from the SSH shell
although that would be extremely unwise to do that.
FTP is a main primary service and you don't know what scripts or processes
being used on your server may need direct FTP access. While not necessarily
"stupid" like disabling the SSH server would be, disabling FTP would generally
not be advised unless you have some major reason in doing so. Plus, if you
disable the FTP server, you'll make it a lot more difficult to manage the
hosting accounts deployed on your server since the web based File Manager
is reasonable to manage a few files but doesn't even come close to FTP when
talking about handling large numbers or sizes of files.
This leaves the obvious question ...
Why do you want to disable the FTP server?
