FTP Client Softwares are important regardless whether you have root access or not.FTP Client Softwares are GUI based way to upload,download, edit, delete files. Here is a big list of FTP Client Softwares along with some guide.

 

Guide for using FTP Client Softwares

 

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. Images, texts can be retrieved using Google’s Cache, but it is not a gureented way for sure. It is safe to rename or move than delete using FTP Client Softwares. Please learn to backup the folders first before doing anything, unless you are used with FTP. SFTP is the secured protocol and not all FTP Client Softwares support SFTP.
