I created a new account and i tried to install vsftpd with sudo apt-get install vsftpd but its ask for a password for ftp. when i gave all my passwords i used here it says ftp is not in the sudoers file. this incident will be reported.
You would first need to set up an FTP server on your droplet if you have not already:

The link you have displayed should work with any FTP server. The format is:
ftp://username:password@[ipaddress]/path/to/your/file.xml
Make sure you create a new user account on your droplet for this and do not share your default root account details.
