Can't connect via SFTP

I am trying to setup a site in Dreamweaver 2021.  When I add my server creds and try to connect I get an error: 

These same creds connect to my server through Filezilla and Terminal.  No idea what's going on.  Tried using IP as well as URL.

    Who is your web host?

     

    Are you using an 'identity key' (with or without a passphrase)?

    Dreamweaver supports OpenSSH key files only.

     

    See links below for more details.

    My host is Digital Ocean.  No passphrase on the key.  No idea if it is open ssh.  I created it using the ssh-keygen on command line in Mac OS.
