sending a text file to a web server via ftp

I have a vb6 app written that generates a simple text file. I want to be able to send that text file to a web server. More specifically, this web server is one of an axis network camera. The camera has a linux os built in and I plan to rean the text file from the camera. The problem is that the camera will not accept files with the .txt extension. So overall, what I need to do is change the name of the file from camdata.txt to just camdata (no extension and then send it to the camera via ftp or another efficient means. The camera does not support sockets so winsock would be out of the question. Could anyone help me with how I would do this?
