The utility curl with option -T can be used for that.
Code:
curl -T "yourfile" http://www.sitetoupload.com

You can use netcat and compress it for speedier transfer:

On the receving machine:
Code:
nc -l 80 | tar xvzf -

On the sending machine:
Code:
tar cvz directory | nc IP_of_receiving_machine 80

Note, however, that the usual HTTP traffic may get in the way. You really should use a different, unused port instead of 80, e.g. 8888.

Is der ne way that i can use nc as a permanent listener on server side for particular port.coz after the file transfer gets completed it releases the connection on server.

Code:
man nc

Quote:
-k Forces nc to stay listening for another connection after its current connection is com‐
pleted. It is an error to use this option without the -l option.
