If they allow git on your shared hosting and you use it, I would highly suggest you do it that way. I wasted lots of time on FTP, trying to remeber what files I'd changed etc.
Git pull
Composer install
Migrate
Etc
The other thing I would suggest is use a symbolic link and link the public folder that way, remember when you create the link, don't have the foder created in the public_html folder. The big benefit of doing it that way, is, when you ssh into the server and you do a git pull, it updates all the public directory and you don't have to mess around copy and pasting/ moving files to your directory in the public_html folder.
