I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I set up the new root password and logged into filezilla successfully. My host was the IP for my website I’m hosting, username was root, password is the one I resetup through console access and port is 22 for wordpress. BUT, I can’t see the directories I want to see.
Am I doing everything right, here’s more infromation: Through my digitalocean, I have set up filezilla. I’ve logged in with my root password and username. I’m trying to re-edit the functions.php for my wordpress file but can’t seem to find it the directory? I need to just change up a line of text in that file that is causing that error, but I can’t seem to find the functions.php. I’ve done ‘force showing hidden folders’ as well, in FileZilla.
Everywhere I have looked it seemed that people were able to access the directory: wp-content themes yourtheme functions.php
But mine isn’t there. My remote site isn’t like that? Here’s a screenshot: http://imgur.com/ehDKXT9
Here’s the navigation video on how to find the file through file manager: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqIiLm70US8

Well it seems like is not possible to use an image snapshot to start a new droplet. You will have to create a droplet and set up wordpress then just move files and database
When you login into your droplet via SFTP as the root user you start out in that user’s home directory “/root” To access your wordpress files you would need to go up a directory and then navigate to /var/www/html
You do know DO has a one click instal of wordpress. It will install everything that is necessary for the server.
