There is nothing to worry about, as you can log on to your server using web-based FTP client. Web-based means that you will use web browser to access it instead of installed FTP client.

I still love using my desktop based FTP client Filezilla or SSh tool Putty to perform most operations. I prefer putty the most since it saves lots of time, though one need to understand Linux command for the same.

Thanks Harsh for your comment. I totally buy your point, but I was talking about web FTP when you want to access your server from some remote pc in situations like I mentioned in my post.
