By modul on
1) I have a Drupal site up and running, and I am admin of the site, i.e. I have access through Drupal's interface to, for instance, uninstall modules. I do not, however, have FTP access to the location where the site is running, and I also don't have direct access to the MySQL database. In case you wonder how on earth I got the site installed: it was installed for me :-)
2) I do have access (both FTP and MySQL) to another location, within the same domain as the site mentioned previously.
I was wondering: can I install extra Drupal modules (or other neat PHP files) in my second environment, and can I somehow whisper into Drupal's ears to go check that location?

Depends on the folder you've access to.
Drupal searches /profiles, /modules and /sites//modules to grab modules. So if you don't have access to one of these locations, it's unlikely that you can do this.
There could be contributed modules to look other locations for modules, but that module too require FTP/SSH or such access to put files in.
And if you have cron jobs active, try to write a .SH file(which downloads and extracts the modules to Drupal site's module folder) to the location that you have access to, and setting cron job to execute that shell file. Worked perfectly in boss's server and lost the job.
