CURL works for me. Here is snippet from my code,

                $handle = curl_init ($server_url);

                if ($handle)
                {
                    // specify custom header
                    $customHeader = array(
                        "Content-type: $file_type"
                    );
                    $curlOptArr = array(
                        CURLOPT_PUT => TRUE,
                        CURLOPT_HEADER => TRUE,
                        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $customHeader,
                        CURLOPT_INFILESIZE => $file_size,
                        CURLOPT_INFILE => $file,
                        CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH => CURLAUTH_BASIC,
                        CURLOPT_USERPWD => $user . ':' . $password,
                        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => TRUE
                    );
                    curl_setopt_array($handle, $curlOptArr);
                    $ret = curl_exec($handle);
                    $errRet = curl_error($handle);
                    curl_close($handle);

EDIT: Just updated my code. I don't use authentication myself so this is not tested.
