How to update the files on Amazon EC2 without using command line

Right now there is an apache server in EC2,

the approach of update is:

first , using filezilla with SFTP to upload file to /home/ec2-user folder

then , using openPutty to put command line to replace the file

e.g. sudo cp /home/ec2-user/test.php /var/www/html/project/

It is not so straight forward .

I tried in filezilla using the link /var/www/html/ but I only have permission to download file.

So, the question is , are there any more convinent way (e.g. Any GUI tools similar to file explorer if SSH is necessary)?

Thanks for helping
