is it possible to create FTP for JSP Servlet application on Linux Debian os

I have a jsp servlet application. I am using tomcat5.5 as web server and the os is linux debian server.

I deploys the updated application by making its .war file and deploys this war file by using tomcat manager. So every time if I want to add any image or any other file which will be get used in application I always need to create .war file and deploy it on web server using tomcat manager.

My questions are,

1) Is it poss开发者_高级运维ible to create FTP of this JSP Servlet application? So that whenever if I need to add any image or other file I will connect to the webserver using FileZilla FTP client and just drag and drop the file in respective folder.

2 . When I deploy a war file using tomcat manager where exactly the jsp servlet application goes and what its exact path?

Thank You!
