I currently don’t have access to my PC…
I have Auth keys setup on my server but don’t know how to access it through mac because I don’t think terminal allow ssh keys and any programs to login to sftp for mac with ssh keys?

@JustinManager - You should be able to run ssh -i [key] root@[serverip] just as you would if you were using PuTTy or an alternative. Of course, you will need your key as once you set an SSH key up for a droplet, you’re not able to recover the root password from DO’s control panel.
