As @alaraajavamma suggested in the other thread (where you asked mainly about the file manager), MTP is also an option, but requires installing an MTP server/responder on the PinePhone, which is not included out of the box. (uMTP-Responder is one of several implementations. Last I checked, they all had poor security though, which is why they are not installed by default.)
And SFTP is not FTP! FTP over SSL/TLS would be FTPS, not SFTP. FTP/FTPS requires installing an FTP server, whereas SFTP is part of SSH. Some (but not all, since it is a completely different protocol) FTP clients support SFTP, there are dedicated clients for proprietary operating systems such as WinSCP (supports SCP and SFTP), and most GNU/Linux file managers support SFTP out of the box (just type the SFTP URL into the folder/address bar).
