Heya,
It’s possible you don’t have permissions to view the directory. I would suggest you to use the Droplet Web Console, enter the Droplet and find exactly where the files are.
You would need to give permissions to the FTP user you are using as well.
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/how-to/connect-with-console/
Try to find the files and where they are situated. IF they are not in /var/www/html check your WebService config file(Apache/Nginx) to find where exactly they are stored. Once you know the exact path, I can guide you in giving permissions to your user to see the files.
Heya, @paulhives
The ftp user is likely unable to access the /var/www/html directory. You can use ssh to access the droplet and check if the directory does exist and confirm the issue is only with the ftp user permissions.
Regards
I searched in UBUNTU. There is no such directory. Furthermore, permissions would only mean access to folders in Filezilla. THey would still be visible.
