In this case, I suggested FTP because even really old Windows clients which you might find in internet cafes around the world will come with command line FTP clients or drag and drop support in older versions of IE. [...]
And they'll also come with password sniffers. So you might have one that's write-only with a quota, but that's a faff.
Anyway, some cafes do not allow command line access and (as mentioned above) the newer IE doesn't do FTP so the widest usability is perhaps a HTTPS upload page nowadays and you could check a subset of a password as well as take a username/passphrase to defeat sniffers.
