c# .net: question about uploading a file to a remote server (not using ASP or FTP)?

okay, hear me out about this. we have a client who has set up a web server. all they gave us was a url and a port (https://blahblah.yakyak.com:12345). this server requires NO authentication (e. g., anyone can go to the url without being prompted for a un/pw). they sent us a very vague request that goes something like this: "we want you to show us as *proof of concept* that you can post a file to our server."

that's it. now i am an experienced .net developer, but i kinda don't know d!ck about network connections or how to configure a web server (if the right term is even web server to begin with).

so i've been tooling around with some C# code and the System.Net.Sockets namespace looking for a way to save a file to that url. however, without knowing if they even have it configured properly to allow any anonymous user to post any file they want to their server, i have no way of knowing if my attempts are fruitful or in vain.

yes, i know this is an odd situation, but i have literally been given next to no information on the specifics of the client's request. so tell me, does anyone know how i can go about just storing a file on a remote server that requires no authentication? if special configuration is required on the server side, can anyone give me some pointers on what this may be?

thanks in advance
i cannot use ANY html/javascript. this is strictly C# or VB code. i can also NOT use FTP.
