Hello, @michaellobry
You can first make sure that the
vsftpdservice is running. Also, you can try to telnet to the droplet on port 22 and confirm if the connection is successfulThe other option will be to use ProFTPD which should also be the default option for the FTP type.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
