You can block FTP access to your system by simply not installing it. On NT 4.0 systems it is done during installation of NT Option Pack. Simply uncheck FTP service. If you did install FTP, you can still stop it and disable it from Control Panel, Services (disable FTP Publishing service). Situation about ping is more complex. You should disable ICMP packets on your router.

There is no Terminal Services for NT 4.0. However you can buy commercial software (Symantec's PCAnywhere), or use free. Free software is Microsoft NetMeeting 3.0 which offers desktop control and vnc from http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/download.html
