title: Installing pip packages on a server where I have only ftp access?
body: <p>We (our company) have a webserver which is fully hosted, I can only access it through FTP and put files on it that way.  It has a couple of Python scripts installed in a <code>/cgi-bin/</code> folder, and I've been asked to upgrade the functionality of one of them (it uses Apache and regular old CGI, if that helps). Unfortunately, to do this I need to use a package from pip, one with several dependencies. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to install packages from pip to a server I only have FTP access to? Can I maybe just copy all the folders containing the pip package and its dependencies to some location on the server? I imagine putting it in <code>/cgi-bin/</code> would be unsafe, but I do have access to non-<code>public_html</code> folders. How would I have to configure my python scripts to be able to import these, if it is even possible to do it this way?</p>
  
  <p>Any advice would be greatly appreciated. </p>
