Laravel-4: Hot to use Laravel 4 without SSH access to my server?

I would like to try Laravel-4 php framework and in documentation I find that is necessary to install it (not ismply copy files).

The problem is that I don't have access via SSH to my server, and until now (I'm currently using Code Igniter php framework) I simply copied my entire project files in remote folder and everything runs correctly.

You're interpreting the "Installation" section of the Laravel docs a little too literally. You can build a Laravel app on your local PC or Mac and then FTP the files to your server just as you can for CodeIgniter.

You will find that there's a lot more of them though - but it's not too bad if you create a tar or zip archive and upload that, and expand it again at the other end.

However, you do lose a lot of really useful control over your sites by not having SSH access. Have you considered moving to somewhere like Digital Ocean where for $5 a month you can have a virtual server perfectly capable of running a reasonable sized Laravel application?
