Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers

3) This is the one that concerns me - "SFTP" I don't know what this is, how it works, what type of control it provides.
Mind you, I can use Filezilla to access my c-panel, see my files, do bulk transfers, edit if I have to - though I prefer the c-panel File system editor for making changes at the file level. Is SFTP a similar type of access to what Filezilla provides in a c-panel setting?
This is exactly my question and confusion as well. Can we maybe get a video tutorial for dummies on how to use "SFTP" to connect/see/upload/download/delete/tweak our files or folders on our JR server? Like how do I even start?
Say for instance I need to upload a new color .jpg to use as a side-wrapper image on my site's background color? Originally, after tweaking my skin style .css, I had to actually replace the generic grey-gradient image that came with JR default... I named mine the same and REPLACED the default jpg in my skin IMAGES folder, using my cPanel access.
How would I do that now? Can i make folders on my server for keeping misc files related to my JR site?- like alternate icon image files IO might switch occasionally, or specific template copies I want to hold onto for later use? Urp...just realized I'll ALSO need to figure out how to add a chat function into my site/server before I go live- preferably cometchat. =8-*
Please help us non-coders to understand how to access or see/upload/download stuff on our servers now that we no longer have our familiar cpanels. Maybe a tutorial section... Thanks!
