Hmm ok.. you will have to do it manually in SSH try this:

cd /usr/local/
wget ftp://ftp.pureftpd.org/pub/pure-ftpd/releases/pure-ftpd-1.0.20.tar.gz
tar xzf pure-ftpd-1.0.20.tar.gz
cd pure-ftpd-1.0.20/
./configure --with-everything --with-virtualchroot --without-banner --without-humor --enable-osx --with-tls
make install-strip

#Next is to choose which Mode you want:
#xinetd Mode (I prefer this one)

cd /etc/xinetd.d/
cp -p ftp ftp.default
pico ftp

service ftp 
{ 
        disable = no 
        socket_type     = stream 
        wait            = no 
        user            = root 
        server          = /usr/local/sbin/pure-ftpd 
        server_args     = -A -E -p 40000:50000 -c 5 -C 1 -I 5 -T 25 -u 1 
        groups          = yes 
        flags           = REUSE 
}

/etc/init.d/xinetd stop
/etc/init.d/xinetd start

It now should work.
Hopefully that should help,
