I can't understand why they would not allow you to have FTP access
to your homedir. If the admin is able to install an FTP server like
proftpd or pure-ftpd, he could also chroot your user to his home
directory in order for you not to roam around the system's
directories.  Talk with the admins and convince them to give you FTP
access. That's the best way to go and solve your problem.
