Not able to login to 3rd party tools like Filezilla or Putty from Digital Ocean. The server is so slow to load that it is taking 2-3 minutes to just show the login page, and then after 2 -3 API calls it stops to do anything. Please help and guide us. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey @atulgup,

Can you please let me know the exact steps you are taking to connect?

It’s possible something is missing and/or is preventing you from a better connection.

It’s possible your Droplet is experiencing high loads due to something. Log into your droplet via the command line and check the resource usage. High CPU usage, memory consumption, or disk I/O can cause slowdowns and even halt the system. You can use the top or htop commands for a quick overview of your system’s resource usage.

Check if there is high network usage which could be causing the slowdown. Tools like iftop or nethogs can help you monitor your network traffic.

Use the uptime command to check the server load. If the load average is too high, it means your server is overloaded which can cause a slow response or login issues.
