Hello!

You should be able to use nautilus to edit the files hosted on your droplet. In order to do that you can try to following commands:

Open your terminal and type (if it fails, try with sudo): nautilus-connect-server
Enter the IP address of the droplet: ssh://yourIPaddress
Then enter your username and password.

This should work for you and should be able to see the files on your droplet.

Let me know if you have any questions.
