Your only sending game text logs?
Why not make a webscript to collect this ? Php for example.

On the internet I will - in no shape or form - take personal offence to peoples comments, idea's or views, I assume the people who I reply to won't either.
My upload function must be in C, as thats the language I've written my game logger in.
That's not relevant, if your problem is how you can put logs from the consumers pc onto your server, without storing weighty information in the executable.
That depends on what server you hav and what options you have to access it.
If there is just a FTP and HTTP service on your server, then i would recommend kiwinz suggestion.
It's the only way you can prevent any attacker from screwing you.
The only thing he could may do is, write some funny things into your log files.

I think I understand what you mean, but I would still have to use HTTP POST wouldn't I?
From the above posts it sounds like you've written the game logger yourself, so why don't you just encrypt the login details, it seems like that is the only reason why you don't want to use standard FTP.
PHP Post, Or you can use GET, just have php reply with a successfully received message.

His webhost doesn't have SSL Avalible.
Still, hes only sending logs, doubt its ness for what hes trying to achieve.
Even then, if the application thats using SSL is poorly coded security wise, its easy to intercept the data and decipher it.

Yes, but why not?
It's the only way you won't need to store any information, except the URL, in your program.
When the log reaches the PHP script, you can delete malicious code out of it, encrypt the logfile, put it onto your ftp server, and so on.
It's just a detour around you're problem. Normally if you would have a server with full access, you could programm this php script in c with a direct socks connection, so you wouldn't need to access it through you're HTTP Server.
But since you have no full access to you're server, this is the only secure way.
Even if you encrypt you're data (SSH or not), somewhere in your exe you have to authenticate and then the attacker is connected and could just change the command from "put log.log" to "put malicious.php", or something like that.
Apart from that he could easily decrypt the data again.
