We have a Debian Linux box with proftpd, we have both FTP and SFTP running, but we would like to disable regular FTP and just leave the SFTP running

Is there some way to do this?

I haven't used ProFTPd my self in quite some time, but remembered it having FTPS support.

So do you really mean SFTP or did you mean FTPS? The earlier being the SSH implementation of a protocol with similar capabilities as FTP and the later being FTP secured by SSL/TLS.

on a quick search I found the following document on FTPS in ProFTPd http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/TLS.html
