I am using Filezilla to access SFTP, for some way, i cannot access with the root password, i did checked the /root/passwords.txt file and it matches the one i input to login using root as a username.
When i try to connect, i get Authentication Failed. Unfortunately...
Code:Status: Waiting to retry...

That is exactly what i get now. I did checked the file, but still cant connect to SFTP, any idea? Thanks in advance for your time and attention.
I don't know much about SFTP so might not be much help here.
I have just connected to my server using FileZilla and the SFTP protocol, using the root user - no problems that I can see. Are you sure you're using the correct password? Or maybe you need to update FileZilla?
