You can use FTP to "PUT" just as well as you can to "GET". Heres a script
that I wrote a while ago to upload files via a script. (This was written
to work on a sun system, but I know it's been used on others).

#! Trans: Written by [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#!
#! Usage: trans [remote-directory] file
#!
#! Designed to easily transfer files via ftp with a one line command.
#! To use, simply save this file to a file named 'trans' in a directory
#! that is in your path. use 'chmod 700 trans' to modify the protections
#! for use as a file.
#!
#! This script is owned in whole by Jeff Schreiber ([EMAIL PROTECTED]),
#! and permission is granted for copy and modification providing that this
#! paragraph is provided and unchanged.
#!
#! Should be used in conjunction with ~/.netrc, where .netrc has an entry:
#! machine <ftp site>
#! login <account name>
#! password <password>
#! The password is optional, and will be prompted for at runtime if
#! Not present.
#!
#! NOTE:
#! For if you plan to use ~ expansion on the directory name, for
#! example 'trans ~spectre workroom.c', you must 'de-reference' the
#! ~spectre so it will get to the shell script. Instead of using
#! ~spectre, use "\~spectre".
#!
#! Examples:
#! % trans toys bokken.c
#! Putting file 'bokken.c' in directory 'toys/'
#! Password:
#! Done.
#! % trans "\~balack" workroom.c
#! Putting file 'workroom.c' in directory '~balack/'
#! Done.
