from magento wiki lately, we discovered that magento can be setup at most php hosting, regardless ssh secure shell access is provided or not. the SSH shell access is mainly serve to unzip the tar file and issue command like bitserve.
As a solution, you can download the .zip magento files instead, unzip it at your windows computer, and later upload the files to the fatcow home directory, and complete the magento installation from there.
shell access is required by ruby on rails application, but not compulsory for magento commerce website.
