If the remote machine is Linux, running sshd, and if you have an account
there, then use scp to copy the file.  And if you want to automate it,
run scp from within python, using the subprocess module.  But make sure
it works manually before bothering to automate it.

To get ssh on Windows, one approach is to install cygwin.

If you want more control than subprocess, there are a whole bunch of 3rd
party ssh libraries for Python.  Just google  python ssh library  to get
at least 6 on the first page.
