No. The login & password fields on the site are the same that you'd use on the other Perl conference sites. It's for connecting on your conference account, allowing people to propose talks, build their own schedule, edit the wiki, etc. Note that the test site is connected to a different database than the production server, so if you have an account on, say, http://yapc.eu/2013 , you have to make a new one on the test site. Then tell me the corresponding login name so I can give you the admin right on the conference.

SSH (for which PuTTY is a good client) is the primary way to access your files on the server. I agree editing files with vi(m) over ssh is not the most comfortable way for everybody. That's why I suggested to use a more user-friendly client like Filezilla (https://filezilla-project.org/) to copy the files back and from the server on your local workstation, where you can work with your usual software.
