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:

thx @hansen

i connected both ways , neither worked !

root user , other user with ssh and with password .

root ’/’

this is the netstat for port 22

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1308/sshd

whats wrong ..

root@fg:~# cat ~/.ssh/sshd_config
Host *
ServerAliveInterval 15
