Hello friends,
I’m trying to connect to my server using SFTP as told in https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-proftpd-to-use-sftp-instead-of-ftp
But I don’t understand how the ssh keys works. How can I get them from the server to use in FileZilla in my Mac?
I can connect to the server using ssh but not sftp. I get this
subsystem request failed on channel 0 Connection closed
And them I want to give access to another friend, to some folders. How do I create a ssh key for him and give him access?
Thanks

you need to access to console anda change your root password, after this you can access in to sftp with you username root and your new password, i recomend to use WinSCP

I can clear up a couple things for you…
-
The way SSH keys work is that they exist as a private/public pair that together grant you access. The keypair is generated on your local computer and your public key is then added to the server in the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
-
The SSH client on droplets supports SFTP by default, ProFTPD is not generally required unless you have specific requirements.
-
The option to add your private key to FileZilla can be found in FileZilla Settings > Connection > SFTP > Public Key Authentication
