I have to do this for a class and I want to see my web files so I can understand how this works and also get access to a file I need. How do I do this without git?

also unfortunately I cant use ftp because we were required to use an ssh key for authentication and not a password

SFTP can be configured to use SSH keys for authentication. Check out:

SSH keys provide a more secure way of logging into a virtual private server with SSH than using a password alone. With SSH keys, users can log into a server without a password. This tutorial explains how to generate, use, and upload an SSH Key Pair.
