Oh, THAT way.  :)  You didn't say it had a CGI ready and waiting--the
implication seemed to be that you had an SSL-enabled server and nothing
else available.  Now I gather they -do- have CGi handy already.

If you want to use this, you need to look at the HTML source for that page.
Grab the field names from that form, as well as the URL specified in the
ACTION= argument.

Once you have that, you can upload it using something like my
RawQuery program, if you write out the field file appropriately.

The scp scheme would totally circumvent even using their CGI
interface--you'd simply be using ssh to transfer the file, period.
