Let us talk about theoretical here. If the owner of the web root folder is "root" (/var/www/html), should it be changed to the Apache group that is created normally. I did a few checks in the /etc/group file and the apache group does exist as well my account on the box is part of that group, should the web root group be changed apache to make sure that only users of the Apache group have controls?

You can then use WinSCP to copy the files there directly, and avoid using PuTTY. Another way to do essentially the same noted above: Have your administrator add you to the group for the web root directory, in my case the apache group, as well as g+w perms. Add the line 'newgrp apache' to your profile and presto, permissions to move and delete files around.
