There are dozens of ways to gain access. They can hack a php or similar script running on your website. They can hack the server itself. They can hack the local network the server is located on. etc etc etc. Ten times out of ten it's a poorly written php script which is easily attacked to give the hacker access to the server files.

Seriously dude. Webmaster 101. You should know this shit already. Specially if you have your own dedi box.
