normally it should be enough to upload the same version over the existing files with your ftp. Update module in system admin and it should run like a new one without touching db.

From what version to what version?

If it's version 1 to 2 - yes, install over, update the module and run the required upgrade script

You may also have to delete the templates and regenerate - otherwise you can get funny effects

as always - i recommend a backup before starting
