Deploy WAR file to Openshift without using GIT?

Question

I want to upload a WAR file to my Openshift account , but it forces me to use GIT ot GITHUB (here). Please forgive me for saying this , but this is very very annoying .

Is there any way upload a WAR file straight to my application without using some third party ?

My application (in the Openshift) consists of : Tomcat 7 (JBoss EWS 2.0), MySQL 5.5 .

Much appreciated

3. Use Win Scp / FileZilla to log into your app
