Hello, @freshuser
Could you please let me know if you’ve disabled the
Password Authentication
for your droplet? If that is correct you wont be able to connect using the password in FileZilla. You can add your key to FileZilla in order to make this work.You can check our tutorial on how to use FileZilla to transfer files.

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
