Setup the appropriate policies in WinGate. Add the users you want the policy to apply to to "Users can access this service".

Then, in the "Advanced" configuration you add a Filter with one criterion.

I tried it with two criterion:

1. This Criterion is NOT met if HTTP Protocol contains ftp
2. This Criterion is NOT met if HTTP Resource begins with ftp

You would probably want to set it to ignore the system rights as well.
