I already hosted a networked game that had an alternative web upload method for one person who had firewall issues to connect normally and I don't remember any problems. What you should make sure is that the game server has access to the new *.2h files, so you should chmod them to 0666 after uploading or chown them to the account that the server is running under, and maybe "touch" them as well. If you want, I can send you the PHP turn file upload/download script that I created for my networked game.
