This means you need to find a competent sysadmin and/or hosting
provider.  If your sysadmin says it's hard to configure the server to
use ssh/scp/sftp, fire your sysadmin and get a competent one.  If your
hosting provider refuses to provide ssh/scp/sftp, take your business
elsewhere.

This is irrelevant to ssh/scp/sftp.
