VCS with standard HTTP/FTP hosting

I'm currently signing up for a HTTP/FTP standard hosting. My intention is to use VCS for my project, however my hosting service does not allow to install additional system services such as CVS. Any solution?

My workflow (not only for OS but for all my software projects) is:

1) Work on my desktop machine, commit changes to the server.
2) Work on my notebook, commit changes to the server.
3) Work at other remote sites.

I think SVN or CVS won't do the trick for my standard HTTP hosting.

I hope there's a tool available!! :o

You can get free CVS/SVN hosting at www.googlecode.com and www.sourceforge.net, along with a host of others.

Bazaar, the VCS I'm using, apparently works with an FTP server.
