Hello! new DO user and I am having some issues, I created a 1 click wordpress dropless. I used password to ssh into console, and set up the wordpress site. Now I need to access the .htaccess to increase php_value max_execution_time. when I log back into the console. it starts the wordpress installation progress from the beginning, and if I ctrl+c and ls the files that are present are mysql-apt-config_0.8.22-1_all.deb snap wp_setup.sh
what am I doing wrong? how can I access my droplet file system and .htaccess?
thanks in advance guys
P.s. I do not have a domain address, I am using the DO ip and in the wordpress install I add a fake domain name, could this be the issue?

Heya,
When you ssh to your Droplet, you need to finish the whole setup process, otherwise you might stumble upon a situation like this.
So, the steps are, you create your marketplace droplet —> SSH to your droplet either using a terminal or your droplet console ----> Follow the setup proccess, don’t interupt it in the middle —> You should then be good to go and be able to access your files.
