the easy way to deploy the application is to make a war file of your application and paste it in the webapps folder of tomcat installation folder. By default it catalina_home/webapps or use the inbuilt hostmanager application.

What version of Tomcat are you using? You should just be able to go to manager screen and deploy your war file from there i.e. http://hostname:8080/manager

On Tomcat 7 you need to have a user entry in /conf/tomcat-users.xml for the role manager-gui.

If you can connect to the server hosting tomcat you could copy your war file to the webapps directory manually instead.
