Disabling Telnet and FTP from a HP 1920 switch

Got a HP1920, I can stop people getting to the switch via telnet and FTP, but when I have signed onto the switch via a SSH session, I can telnet and FTP off it. How do I stop this ?

What is the concern? Limiting who can connect removes what concerns you might have. Those are UNIX-directional such that only the user who is authorized to connect can ...

Not clear what the concern is what might a user who is already authorized to get into the switch via ssh, do with the FTP/telnet to a remote destination?
Configure command logging via syslog. This way you will know what a user who has access to the switch did .....

In a way having granted UserA permission to use your car, and UserA is now driving your car, but you would like to prevent UserA from stopping at points C, D and not drive on toll roads as those fees will be billed to you/r plate/Ezpass.
Not sure you could limit based on the privilege/security level of the user.
