If you have access to a server with SSH access, and it has the cURL libraries installed, you can upload files stored on your server to free hosts such as filefactory, sendspace, upfile etc etc. This is achieved with a (somewhat) simple curl command. I wrote some bash scripts that you can use to make it even easier. Here they are:
BASH SCRIPT FOR FILEFACTORY[spoiler]
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$#" -lt "1" ]
then
echo "you forgot to choose file to upload ya plonker"
exit 1
fi
#get index.html
curl http://www.filefactory.com > fileff.tmp
#get filename
FILE=$1
#get Session ID address for upload
UPLOADVAR=`grep 'sessionid' fileff.tmp|head -1|awk '{print $4}'|perl -npe '$_=substr($_,7,-3)'`
#get server address for upload
SERVERVAR=`grep 'multipart/form-data' fileff.tmp|head -1|awk '{print $3}'|perl -npe '$_=substr($_,8,-2)'`
echo $SERVERVAR
echo $UPLOADVAR
echo $FILE
curl -v --progress-bar -F "file=@$FILE" -F "sessionid=$UPLOADVAR" $SERVERVAR > fout.tmp
rm fileff.tmp
LINKVAR=`grep 'window.parent.location.href' fout.tmp|perl -npe '$_=substr($_,30,-3)'`
echo $LINKVAR
rm fout.tmp

BASH SCRIPT FOR SENDSAPCE[spoiler]
#!/bin/sh
if [ "$#" -lt "1" ]
then
echo "you forgot to choose file to upload ya plonker"
exit 1
fi
#get index.html
curl sendspace.com > ~/file.tmp
#get filename
FILE=$1
#get uoload identifier
UPLOADVAR=`grep UPLOAD_IDENTIFIER file.tmp|head -1|awk '{print $4}'|perl -npe '$_=substr($_,7,-3)'`
#get server address for upload
SERVERVAR=`grep "processupload.html" ~/file.tmp|awk '{print $3}'|cut -b9-`
#get Destination DIR
DESTINATIONVAR=`grep DESTINATION_DIR file.tmp|head -1|awk '{print $4}'|perl -npe '$_=substr($_,7,-3)'`
SERVERLEN=${#SERVERVAR}-1
SERVERVAR=${SERVERVAR:0:SERVERLEN}
echo $SERVERVAR
echo $UPLOADVAR
echo $FILE
echo $DESTINATIONVAR
curl -v -F "MAX_FILE_SIZE=314572800" -F "UPLOAD_IDENTIFER=$UPLOADVAR" -F "DESTINATION_DIR=$DESTINATIONVAR" -F "js_enabled=0" -F userfile=@$FILE -F "desc=Upped By Me" -F "recpemail=recepient@email.com" -F "ownemail=my@email.com" -F "terms=1" $SERVERVAR
rm file.tmp

To get these scripts to work, copy an paste into a file, and name the file "upload" or whatever you want to call it. I call the filfefactory one "fupload" and the sendspace one "supload". Dont use a file extension. Upload it to your server (ASCII transfer type, not binary), then chmod the file to at least 755, to allow you execute permission.
Then ssh into the server, cd to the directory you uploaded to, and use the following command to upload files:
./fupload folder1/folder2/filename.rar
Easy as that. Dont forget to change the description of the file you are uploading to something you want to use, like Upped by Q, or whatever, and the emial addresses you want to use. I dont wanna get a crap load of emails saying you have successfully uploaded a file to sendspace!
Also, pay attention to the directories of the files you want to upload. I'd recommend putting the script in the home directory, as it will then be able to access any files beneath it easily! When the script finishes executing, copy and paste the link that it outputs into your browser, and voila. file uploaded.
