Connect to server with SFTP instead of FTP/FTPS within WordPress Backup

I have recently setup a Linode Apache2 Debian server and I am hosting my WordPress site on it. It seems I can only connect to the server with SFTP.

When I attempt to add/update a plugin I am presented with this screen:

There doesn’t appear to be an option to use SFTP instead of FTP or FTPS. I cannot find any plugins or anything to do this.

Because of this, I cannot add/update plugins.

What are my options?

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
