Hi I am new to Digital Ocean. I have deployed my first website. I bought a WP layout and the installation requires to install through FTP. I don’t know where to locate my FTP.

You will need install a FTP server, see this https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-for-a-user-s-directory-on-ubuntu-18-04

I’ve used filezilla but always the free version. I think we just need to get pro version. Now my question is how do we get the ftp log in info. Back to Dig. Ocean for that.
