Sometimes, a package fails to build on a certain architecture and release for some reason. This can lead to missing packages for a time. For people running the quarterly package set this is even more annoying. This is how you check which package set you are using
Code:
root@kg-core1:~ # pkg -vv | grep url
    url             : "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:13:amd64/quarterly",
 
From the same opening poster (I flagged post 1 here for a move):


Ports ≠ packages, but my gut feeling is that there'll be less duplication of effort, and a more coherent resolution, if the two topics can be merged.
 
Code:
$ freebsd-version -kru ; uname -aKU
13.0-RELEASE
13.0-RELEASE
13.0-RELEASE
FreeBSD bsd.whost 13.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE #0 releng/13.0-n244733-ea31abc261f: Fri Apr 9 04:24:09 UTC 2021 root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC amd64 1300139 1300139

According to FreshPorts we do have packages for both quarterly and latest for FreeBSD:13:amd64:

<https://www.freshports.org/ftp/vsftpd/#packages>

ignoramus does the command below succeed, for you?

sudo pkg update --force

When you visit <https://pkg.freebsd.org/> in a web browser, which mirror is shown, geographically, near the head of the page?
 
It actually depends how it get written and it seems that the pkg is called vsftpd-ssl in the end :

doas pkg install vsftpd

If you have a web browser active, you can always search for ports using https://www.freshports.org. It will then tell you how to install them.
See specifically ftp/vsftpd and the multiple ways to install vsftpd ( pkg install ftp/vsftpd OR pkg install vsftpd-ssl)
