Even if you disable your ssh service you will still be able to access your droplet via the web console in the control panel. From there you can re-enable ssh in order to connect via Filezilla.

    What would I do to re-enable it? Like command wise? enable? Or something else?

    You should just need to change back the values in /etc/ssh/sshdconfig that you modified in order to disable it. If you did not make any changes to your sshdconfig you may just need to restart your ssh server with:

    service ssh restart
