David,

There are several *possible* solutions, each with it's own pitfalls:

1. Have your sa at work punch a hole through the firewall for you.
     Pitfall: You have already tried this.

2. Do a search for "free shells" or "free Unix shells" and find one that 
allows outgoing FTP.
     Pitfall: If they are blocking port 21 (FTP), port 23 (telnet) is most 
likely blocked as well.

3. Install an upload component on the web server.
     Pitfall: You will need liberal permissions on the web server.

4. Find a new web host, one that allows uploads my means other than FTP.
     Pitfall: Changing web hosts may not be practical for your circumstances.

Good Luck!
-Jeff
