We do not provide any droplets providing a pre-installed FTP service as FTP is an inherently insecure protocol. You can however make an SFTP connection using the root user. Before you can make an SFTP connection you will first need to log in via SSH or the Console in the control panel (Droplet->Access->Open Console) as you will be prompted to change your temporary password. Once this is done you can make an SFTP connection on port 22 using the username root and the password you set.
Hello, all
You can use the root username and password in order to access your droplet using sFTP. If you’re unable to access the droplet using the ssh you can also reset your password.
You can check these two tutorials:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
