I just looked on my 17.10 box; it's located in 'main' and it was instantly located on my ubuntu mirror. I'd check your sources.list to see where it's pointing; maybe switch-to or add another mirror. – guiverc Nov 16 '17 at 07:12

maybe switch-to or add another mirror is a suggestion. – Nov 16 '17 at 07:18

which other mirror is good – UMAIR ALI Nov 16 '17 at 07:20

the best mirror for you depends upon your location. for example I list my isp's mirror; then my countries ubuntu [au.*.ubuntu.com because i'm in au], then finally *.ubuntu.com or the default ubuntu.com site – guiverc Nov 16 '17 at 07:37

ok, now I try to login with FTP without vsftpd installation and its working. – UMAIR ALI Nov 16 '17 at 07:47

Have you tried to resynchronize the package index files from their sources before installing the package?
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install vsftpd

What is the content of your source.list ? are you able to install other packages such as vim or nano? did you try resetting your source.list ? – sys0dm1n Nov 16 '17 at 07:57

You can download the .deb archive for amd64 and/or i386 from these links. Go to the directory that you downloaded the .deb archive to, and install the package manually by:
sudo dpkg -i "packageName.deb" #replace the text in quotes with the name of the package you downloaded
sudo apt-get install -f # to fix any dependencies that might be broken.
