As long as you know how to install, configured, hardening and maintain web server, database and other that you will need then you don't need cpanel or any panel.

There is free chanel alternative such as ispconfig3, hestiacp/vestacp or if you will use openlitespeed as webserver you can use cyber panel. Some vps provider also give free internal license directadmin.

But even if you use cpanel or other panel you still need to understand linux, webserver etc if you want to self managed your vps OR you can buy managed vps.
 
Try looking for a guide on how to set up FTP on a Linux VPS, shouldn't be too hard.
 
You can upload anything (including large video files) with just SSH using SCP. WinSCP is an excellent GUI for this which looks and works like FTP but internally uses a SSH connection.

It might be a little more difficult to initially setup but I wouldn't recommend installing cPanel or a FTP server just for this on a low-resource VPS.
 
what do you want the vps for? if its just to host websites then you can easily do that by using digital ocean. Their $5 per month plan can manage multiple starter websites without any issue and you dont need to install any panel.check this
 
If you don't know anything about server management, talk to hosting support about any cpanel alternatives they provide
 
You don’t need cPanel, or any other alternative if you know to control server.

it’s really hard thing but it’s worth to learn
 
You will have better performance without a control panel. But you will have to setup the server components you need, LAMP (apache, mysql, php) or LEMP (nginx, mysql, php).
 
Get a DirectAdmin personal licence for $24 a year, then you can type one line on the command line and it will install the entire LAMP platform for you (Apache, PHP, MySQL along with the ftp server and firewall), you can host as many sites as you like with it you just can't add any more users except yourself.
 
I think you'll need some basic linux sysadmin skills in order to manager your server...
