If you are a starter, its important for you to understand the differences between FTP and SSH. Secondly, you can actually access FTP under Windows without any client software, like we wrote in Access Rackspace Cloud FTP From Windows PC Without Any Software. Thirdly, there is no ‘recycle bin’ or ‘trash’ in server, if you delete an important file, it will get deleted forever.
