If you are doing it from Windows and ftp is an option the batch file 
would look something like:

@echo off

echo open myhost    >%TEMP%\ftpdata
echo user myuserid >>%TEMP%\ftpdata
echo MyPass        >>%TEMP%\ftpdata
echo bin           >>%TEMP%\ftpdata
echo cd myDir      >>%TEMP%\ftpdata
echo put myfile    >>%TEMP%\ftpdata
echo quit          >>%TEMP%\ftpdata
ftp -n -s:%TEMP%\ftpdata
erase %TEMP%\ftpdata
