没有SSH访问的Symfony 2

Question

I have a developed a small web-app in Symfony 2 and Doctrine 2.

Can i deploy it to a web-host that doesn't give SSH access?

I ask this because i see there are a lot of task that must be done from the terminal, like updating the database schema, creating symlinks for the assets, clearing cache, etc...

Should not be a problem:

• Create a copy of the system somewhere, ideally with identical DB connection params like the production system.
• Run all the necessary tasks with the --env=prod parameter, if your DB settings allow it.
• Clone the created production database to the production system (with phpMyAdmin). You can clone the schema from the production database, run app/console doctrine:schema:update --dump-sql locally and then run the generated SQL on the production server.
• Copy all the files, excluding the dirs in app/cache and app/log
