You'll need a client that can do HTTP file uploads.  Curl fits the bill.

If you need to go through a multi-step login to get a session or the like,
you'd need to use the same program to first push login information to the
site, then you'd need programming to analyse whatever you get back for the
session information, be it cookie or field based, then you'd need to send
that information back with the client.

There's no way of knowing how much coding is involved without knowing the
site involved and seeing how one gets to the upload process.  It could be
as simple as just pointing the right client at a URL with the requisite
files, or it could involve multiple requests, responses, and parses.
Depends if the upload area is protected, and if so, how.
