Hi @lifesound

Did you setup your Droplet with keys or did you get a root password?

You don’t need to install anything or setup anything, since SFTP is supported by SSH, which is installed by default on your Droplet.
As long as you can connect thru SSH to your server, then you can SFTP. Unless you’ve changed the configuration of /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

And to create new users, have a look in this tutorial:
