Hello, @1075b2da79e
Could you please confirm if you’re using SFTP and not FTP to connect to your droplet? Keep in mind that FTP is now allowed due to security measures and you need to use SFTP in order to transfer your files.
Also make sure that you’re using the correct IP address, Password and Username to connect. If you’re not using
PasswordAuthenticationto connect your droplet you can configure the ssh_key in FileZilla as well or enable PasswordAuthentication however this is not recommended.You can check this article on how to use FileZilla in order to transfer files and manage files:

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
