load files to the public files dir via admin panel? I was wondering if I could get some advice on best practice on loading images directly to the public files DIR - without FTP access?

My site lives on cloud hosting, and I have no FTP access, my code pushes go through git, but my files dir is not included in the git repo.
I have to load a couple images that are not part of any content type to the public files dir, and don't know if there is a module for that, or what other best practices may be.
I can put a support ticket in if I have to, but I'd like to see if I can get around that if it's possible 

Thanks!
Since my user case was only one image, I ended up putting the file in the theme folder.
for future and larger number file loads I'll be using the media module
