Question
Host: sftp://Your_IP
User: root (or your username)
Password: Your password
Thank you eldin! I get logged in now! But where is the “public_html” folder? Only have root folder with some folders with name strange… Where I upload my sites?
@eldin here;
Just use the same username and password/key you use to login over SSH
How I can create new FTP accounts with a restricted access (by folders)?
Thank you!
We do not provide any droplet images with FTP running by default as it is an inherently insecure protocol. SFTP is running on all new droplets on port 22 and can be accessed with your root login credentials using Filezilla. When logging in as root you will start out in the /root directory but will have access to access any directory you require.
I found this on my own journey here - I hope it helps:
General Takeaway : DON’T USE FTP, IT’S NOT SAFE!
There’s a learning curve, but level up soldier!
You can find it in welcome email. Sample is shown below :
Droplet Name: host.sriyog.com
IP Address: 206.189.XXX.YYY
Username: root
Password: 3298d828d37f322DDe8375ac9

I have the same problem as a windows user it seems to be hard to have the same functionality as rsync.
But where is the “public_html” folder? Only have root folder with some folders with name strange.
