Shell out to an FTP app.

You can script a session in the built in Windows FTP CLI - see details at 
http://www.robvanderwoude.com/index.html

or to make it a bit easier, grab a copy of my FTPSend utility from 
http://www.lexacorp.com.pg (under Free Siftware - Misceellaneous utilities)
A 17KB download:

"FTPSend will upload a specified file to a web site based on parameters 
passed to it on the command line or in an encrypted parameter file. By 
putting it in a batch file or calling it from a macro/procedure in another 
application, you can automate updating of files on your site."
