"PHP was serverless before there was serverless"

However there is a difference: PHP has no deployment system included. But if you build that (not too hard) the difference isn't big ... (But with Lambda&others you outsource the management)

SFTP? I mean, it's not included in PHP, but any linux system has it.

SFTP, rsync all work, to some degree NFS also is an option.

However that's just the technology. You need to build a solution around it, which monitors load and deploys the code as needed and scales down again and eventually in PHP you'd also expect that PHP Session management is integrated ... all doable and people did. The selling point of lambda is "it works" and "not your concern" (with the corresponding downsides)
