The net classes can do form posts (even from within an asp.net page).
Should you have a file on the server then you could post it to another
server. This however is an ideal use for windows services as they wont hog
your asp.net worker process while trying to do an upload. If you do it in
ASP, you have to work out how its going to happen as part of a an intial
page request,or schedule the execution of the asp.net page.

The Net framework SDK quickstart tutorials have examples of writing windows
services, and have http post examples too. I expect the help docs in
vs.net cover the same material.

Well it does - in about 20 lines, but as I suggested - doing posts from asp
(or cold fusion from that matter I expect), has the potential to hog your
worker process and block IIS, which is why I recommended doing it from
outside IIS.
