If I wanted to use this utility to copy a file from a users (Windows)
workstation to my (Linux) webserver, how would I do this? The program on
the users workstation will create a file called "info.txt" and place it in
c:\wow. I want it to go to my server upload.mydomain.com. How do I get the
file c:\wow\info.txt from the user to my web server over https?

Yes, they would. The SSL protocol is complex involving a key exchange and
then encryption done client-side. You are going to have to run something
on the client to do this.
