In case the server to which the files must be uploaded is a FTP one,  
then Finder can't be used: the Finder FTP capabilities, invoked  
through Connect to Server (Cmd-K) then FTP URLs like <ftp:// 
ftp.cam.ctan.org/tex-archive>, allow download but not upload. See:

For years (back when it was Mac OS 6.7 IIRC), I have been using Fetch  
for such tasks:

<http://fetchsoftworks.com/>

It's shareware, and freeware for educational institutions (I got very  
easily a free license for mine).

There's Interarchy too (originally Anarchy), also shareware and quite  
as old as Fetch, but I've always felt Interarchy a bit too powerful  
and overwhelming compared with the simplicity of Fetch:

<http://nolobe.com/interarchy/>

In the public domain, there's Cyberduck which is also quite nice:

<http://cyberduck.ch/>

Back when a colleague of mine was looking for easy SFTP on OS X, and  
Fetch had no SFTP capabilities yet, I tried and used Cyberduck for a  
while. However, having practiced Fetch for so many years, I finally  
went back to it when it could do SFTP as well.

Regarding these files, you can have a look at:

which points to the software:

And similarly have a look at:

<http://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/2007-May/030910.html>

which points to the Automator action:

Hope this helps,
