Backing Up Linux VDS without Access

Edit : What would my netmask/gateway be?

Yours are given on the "IP list" page of the control panel.

SFTP is simply FTP through SSH, so without having to set up an FTP server, you are simply able to use SSH. SFTP is also typically more secure than FTP.

To clarify for anyone reading this, what joshh20 said is not correct. SFTP is different than Secure FTP or FTPS -- it's a different (and better) protocol that does not use an FTP daemon at all. The SFTP functionality is provided by the SSH daemon, in most cases, but if it isn't, then software like WinSCP will fall back to using SCP, which is another SSH-based protocol.

Yes, I am sorry about that, now that I re read that I did not explain fully. I was meaning that for the end user, it is nearly the same in that the feature set is similar, and most FTP clients also connect to servers via SSH and display it like it would when connecting to an FTP server. I am sorry that I made you have to write a response clarifying that, I was trying to save you guys time, but I just made more work for you instead.
