Unless you really cannot open a new TCP connection, the HTTP PUT command 
sounds like a good option for this. If you need more file management 
operations later, you could adopt the WebDAV extensions to HTTP:

You could use base64 encoding: put all the data in a Python string and call 
"s.encode('base64')".
