My next choice if sshfs won't work would be probably be to set up ftp. Other options would include installing Samba for Windows networking, or if you're connecting from a Unix/Linux system you could use NFS. With anything that exposes your files to the network you would want to protect it with a firewall or run it only when needed.
I actually consider sshfs to be the simplest because if you have ssh working sshfs will work as well, nothing more to set up, and I always have ssh going on the Linux systems I work with. (The numerical password works fine with ssh by the way, used it that way on the Pinephone before setting up key-based login.)
Actually if I want to transfer a lot of files or very large files I'll sometimes take the SD card out and plug it into my desktop computer. It's a lot faster than copying them over the network.
