um, you download from a webserver, and upload to one.

wget or curl can be used to download a file from a webserver.

uploading a file TO a webserver requires more infromation, such as what 
upload protocols and authentication does the server support/require?  
one method that can be used is DAV aka WebDAV, cadaver is a command line 
WebDAV client included with CentOS.  

If I'm dealing with a webserver I manage I more frequently use scp 
and/or rsync to move files to/from the server, this typically requires 
user credentials suitable for a ssh login on the server

    $ scp user at hostname:path/to/filename localpath

or

    $ scp path/to/localfile user at hostname:path/to/remote


exchange ssh key credentials first so no password is required.
