Hey @d51253d3020c4e61bed1ca7c7e7649,
You are getting this error as you are trying to connect with a password but it’s not allowed. You can use an SSH key and connect with it.
Check the following on how to achieve that : https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/transfer-files/
Hi there,
I believe that you are getting this error as you are not providing the SSH key in your FileZilla connections.
I would recommend following the steps here on how to connect to a Dropler over SFTP with an SSH key:

Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
