sFTP cant use ssh key?
Ok so I created my droplet and ssh key and can acces the server through terminal.
I have large images folder to upload as I dont store these in my git project. I assumed sFTP would be the solution.
when trying to connect with my FTP client (filezilla)
I set the protocol to SFTP and host as my server ip.
Logon type I choose key file but if I type in the field ~/.ssh/id_rsa i get an error staing the file does not contain a private key.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Er, you should use something like SCP? Is this a one time upload?
scp /some/path/or/file.tar.gz user@hostname_or_ip:/some/path/
