i have created a droplet, In access droplet i get just option of "Console Access" on my browser. But how do i upload, download or edit files or directories on my ubuntu server?
i tried connecting this through my filezilla using my ip as host and root credentials. i'm unable to connect. i get error as : Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server".
how do i connect.
In filezilla login using sftp. Also, enter your correct port number, if you've changed it to some other value from 22. After that you'll be able to upload, download and manage your files.
I can connect, but I don't see the /var/ folder which is supposed to contain folders and files for my site. All I see are .aptitude .ssh and .cache
You're currently trying to access your server via FTP which is most likely not working as your VPS does not have this configured.
To begin you'll want to download a terminal application such as PuTTY: http://www.putty.org/. When you first launched your droplet you most likely received an email with its IP address and default login details. Within PuTTY enter the IP address as the hostname and click Open. Then login using the details in the email (Username will be root).
Once you're in you can use the below guide to install the desktop environment as well as a VNC server on the machine, once this is done you can access your VPS using any remote desktop software: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-14-04
Hi, I'm having the same problem... I created my first droplet, didn't get any email. And have no idea how to access it?
No details sent to me about it in email.
I could connect to my droplet using transmit on mac.
I used SFTP
In server field I used my server IP
In username I used my server user name
In password, I clicked the KEY Icon and selected my SSH Private key and then I press connect and i connected instantly and then I could upload any file I wanted :)
I hope this helps. :)
Once you are connect using Transmit, you can go to any directory you want to upload files. you can drag and drop files on transmit. when your are connect, you will be in your home directory. However, if you would like to upload files for your website, for default nginx server location, it is at /var/www/html, then you should click on your username on top of the window, then a dropdown menu will appear, then select '/'. then you will be in the root directory. from there you can go anywhere and drag and drop your files from your desktop to server. I hope now you understand a little if you have ever worked with an FTP client.
Hello! I am trying to download my files via FilaZilla
File → Site Manager;
Click on the New Site button;
Insert your server's data (Host = IP; you can leave the Port blank if you're using the default one) and choose SFTP - SSH File Transfer Protocol as used Protocol;
Choose Normal or Ask for password as Logon Type, then insert your username (root by default) and your password;
Save your configuration using the OK button.
Every time i try to connect an error appears (Error: Received unexpected end-of-file from SFTP server
Error: Could not connect to server)
I reset my password and i have the same problem again!
What i am doing wrong?
I have the same issue. I cannot make anything related to ssh work. When I tried to install vsFTP, it just hung up the service and I had to reboot/restore the Droplet to make it work. This should be a simple operation and it has taken me 3-4 days to try to resolve this with DO support, to no avail. This is taking wy too long to deal with and no way to speak with someone on the phone. Not good.
