I have an application that must run in windows which must post to a

I can WinSCP into that server, and I can use PuTTY to ssh into that server.

something I can pass in posting,
or something I do with my URLConnection or URL variable to allow me 
access as I get with WinSCP or PuTTY? Thank you.

Well fist of all your code sample doesn't show where you are calling
getOutputStream on your HttpURLConnection, however given that this is a 
simple omission on your part ...

ssh (secure shell) and scp (secure copy) are protocols, just like http 
is a protocol. Your 'secure server' is (probably) only secure because it 
(probably) doesn't allow insecure protocols like telnet and ftp.

So far so good

http is not a secure protocol so if you can run a servlet container
on port 80 (or any other available port for that matter) you can access 
your servlet in the normal way by making a request.

http://foobar.com/servlets/fooservlet?param1=x&param1=y

If you can't access your servlet in this way it's probably because.
Your servlet container is listening on a non standard port, or it could 
be that there is something in the remote network architecture that is 
stopping your request getting through.

Are you running Tomcat, by default it listens on port 8080 so your 
request would be

http://foobar.com:8080/servlets/fooservlet?param1=x&param2=y

what platform is your servlet container running on?
