If you used sudo add-apt-repository to add ppa:elementary-os/daily then it will have added the 'wily' distribution - which does not exist.

You can use synaptic to edit the added repository to change 'wily' to 'xenial'. Or you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/elementary-os-ubuntu-daily-wily.list. The repository you want is deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/daily/ubuntu xenial main.

After updating (sudo apt-get update) you should be able to install pantheon-files. As pantheon-files is designed and supported only for ElementaryOS it may not work as well (e.g. missing icons and other visual glitches). Bugs should only be reported when they occur on ElementaryOS. However, I have briefly tried and the basic functionality seems to be OK.

Can you help with this problem?
