If you're running on OS 9 curl isn't available. But even then URLaccess only works at the 90 percent level.
Besides that, once you get a curl script working you can move it to a $10 Intel/Linux box and have it run as a cron job producing a file that's ftp'd onto an Apple machine ready for your command.
If you're managing a web site you can include a curl command as a comment in the html file which, if executed, will upload the file to the web site complete with password in a ,netrc file that won't be available to someone else. Select and execute with a shell script service and it's all done. I have never been able to get URLaccess to do an upload.
