How can we manage/edit files if not by SFTP?
ANSWER: There are tons of free File Manager type of plugins for WordPress that allow you to edit, zip, download, delete etc files on your server. This is a smart approach because it preserves proper ownership and file permissions while SFTP does not. Meaning that if you overuse SFTP for basic tasks your team might find that sometimes permissions are messed up and you must wait around 1 hour for our cron jobs to reset them again.
