Here's some code I wrote awhile (i apologize, i've had to piece meal it together, but hopefully you get the point of it)

    // Create a request using a URL that can receive a post. 
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://sharepointsite/somefile.txt");

// Set the Method property of the request to POST.
request.Method = "PUT"

Stream dataStream;

// Set the ContentType property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentType = "multipart/form-data; charset=ISO-8859-1";

byte[] byteArray = File.ReadAllBytes(@"c:\somefile.txt");

// Set the ContentLength property of the WebRequest.
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;

// Get the request stream.
dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();

// Write the data to the request stream.
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);

// Close the Stream object.
dataStream.Close();

// Get the response.
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
HttpStatusCode statCode = response.StatusCode;

// Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
// Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
// Read the content.
string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();

// Clean up the streams.
reader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
response.Close();
