Yes, you can access FTP accounts directly from the web browser. Use either of these in the address bar & press enter:

ftp://yourdomain.com
ftp://ftp-user@yourdomain.com

Once you do this, you're asked for the FTP account password to get into your account.

I'd recommend you to use an FTP client, eg. FileZilla, WS_FTP, CuteFTP, etc for such file transactions purposes.. they are quite easier than using the browser based method..

I do not wish to download a ftp client on the machine I use. So after searching more I found I can use a browser, can't find any other way of uploading my data .

A control panel will generally allow you to upload data from your machine. You will see an option as "File Manager" in your control panel.

Yes, you can access FTP account from your web browser but it's not recommended, usually all webmaster prefer client FTP program to access their hosting account where you have many easy to use advance options.
