I don't think you do, since it's difficult to get two copies of the same
program running on a Mac.

Let's see, they're running NT, which means they're not concerned about
security at all, and they won't let you use FTP?  Bizzare.

If all you want is http PUT, libwww-perl-5 supports it.  I've never used
it, but there's no reason it shouldn't work, unless the server doesn't
support it.
