Turns out that my web hosting company provides ssh access on the next 
highest plan and up, but not mine. :)

Oh well, I think I'll explore FileZilla a little more and see if there's 
more of an automated way to do it than just right-clicking each file (or 
even right-clicking multiple files at once, if possible). It shouldn't 
be too big of a deal anyway, but I'm always after more automated ways to 
do things...call me lazy! :)
