Please, tell me, what should I do? The SSH works OK: I can connect with PuTTY without asking password. The key works well. But when I try to connect with FileZilla (I’ve followed all the steps from here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-filezilla-to-transfer-and-manage-files-securely-on-your-vps), it asks me for a password and so I couldn’t connect. If I left the password field empty FileZilla asks me for the password again.
