Simple, I'm looking for a way to automatically or via a one press
backup photos and videos from an Android phone to a SFTP server (via
domain.com as it's the webserver I have) ideally with the ability to
view said images and videos from the phone on the server (each phone
will be locked to a Given folder)

Reason for one button/automatic is it will be going on less tech savvy
family members phones

Looks like [FolderSync](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=
dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite) suits your needs perfectly, it
supports SFTP.

Photosync will do this.

Or you could buy the app if it serves you well? iirc FolderSync gets
discounted quite often, i bought it years ago and it was well worth
it.

you can transfer your files via [sftp
server](https://www.sysax.com/server/?rfrr=jsz7jekv) or you can
utilize automatic synching tool that can easily keep your files and
folders across multiple devices and storage
