Huh?  Redhat's site still has them[1], as do a few mirrors I checked.
If the repositories were gone, yum would spew an error, not just a no
match.

I believe the message above is telling the OP that no match was found
for proftpd, which is correct.  The package is in extras and that
doesn't appear to be enabled.

And AFAIK, Fedora Legacy doesn't update stuff from extras.
