Make sure you have enabled the universe repository then run sudo apt-get update and try again — steeldriver, Feb 01 '18 at 23:38
Thank you so much it works, but i want to ask what does universe repository do ? — Cagan Sit, Feb 02 '18 at 00:56
It's the repository that contains the package that you are trying to install - see What's the difference between multiverse, universe, restricted and main? — steeldriver, Feb 02 '18 at 00:58

Try to add universe repository manually, update lists and install gftp:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gftp
