If you set up Tomcat correctly, and place all your jars in the correct
places you can hot deploy the war without a restart. This works over
plain http, you don't even need access to the server, all you need is a
password for the manager (it's better to use a database realm).
There are many ways to secure the manager in production, the simplest is
to remove the manager.xml and host-manager.xml files from the
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/ directory, or if your
configuration permits allow the manager url to resolve only on the
internal network, this is a typical scenario if tomcat is left to run on
a secure port.

- *never* start tomcat as root: create a user "tomcat" if not already
existing and run tomcat with that user-id
- if it's not a production-server with very high security, grant
ftp-access to user "tomcat"
- from your local pc, ftp to your ubuntu, login as user "tomcat"
- change to directory "www/webapps"
- put your web-app.war
that's it
be sure that autodeploy is set to true. having done so, there's no
need to delete any directories on your ubuntu-server

ps: before starting tomcat as user tomcat, you might have to issue
chown -R tomcat:tomcat * in $CATALINA_HOME
