Hi Dan,

For basic SSH access you just need the Putty executable (putty.exe). You can find the download here

Thanks for your help Evesy, I’m just using the console access for centos6.5. What kind of puTTY should I use? (puttytel, putty,etc)

Hi there,

How is it you’re accessing your droplet? If you’re currently accessing your droplet through the “Console Access” option within the Digital Ocean it’s recommended that you download a SSH client (PuTTY for example) and access your droplet through that and you can then change text size to your hearts desire.

If you’re running gnome or something to have a full desktop environment with a GUI what is it you’re currently using to interact with your server?
