I've seen this done with SSH (the 'scp' component). You tell it to use public-key authentication rather than password, generate a special key that doesn't have a passphrase associated with it, and then use that key to connect to the target system as a user that's restricted to only being able to upload files. If you're really paranoid, use a 'nobody' type userid to upload into a temp dir, and then have a cron job on the dest system copy them to the "real" destination....
