You will need a webserver that allows this. Usually you would implement
a backend (could be a PHP script). Then you do a HTTP POST request from
your program and encode the file data into the POST paramaters. The PHP
script can then write the data to a file or append it.
Another way to transfer the file to the webserver (but you'll have to
configure it for this to work) is an HTTP PUT request. A sample PHP file
would look like this:
<?php
/* PUT data is in stdin stream */
$putdata = fopen("php://stdin","r");
/* Open a file for writing */
$fp = fopen("myputfile.ext","w");
/* Read and write a kilobyte */
while ($data = fread($putdata,1024))
fwrite($fp,$data);
/* Close the streams */
fclose($fp);
fclose($putdata);
?>
