Wordpress will prompt you for FTP credentials if it does not have permission to write the files it needs to. If you log in via putty and run the following command (assuming this is an Ubuntu droplet) it will set the files to be owned by the user that the web service is run as and should resolve the problem.
chown -Rf www-data.www-data /var/www/html/
