I’m trying to figure out how to use SFTP to transfer files. I’m trying to find the files I want to upload. Every time I try pwd and** lpwd** to view my remote and local working directories respectively, both commands produce the same directories. From what I understand, they should not be the same. From my local directory, I expect to be able to access my C: drive where I saved my files for uploading into the digital ocean remote server but I can’t seem to find the files I want to upload.
