The upload() helper is definitely what you want. Basically, you just
give it the local file name and the remote file name, and it does the
upload via SFTP:
upload("/path/to/local.war", "/path/to/remote.war")
If you want to use SCP instead:
upload("local.war", "remote.war", :via => :scp)
You can also use it to upload entire directory trees (though it is
definitely faster to just archive the directory and upload the archive):
upload("/local/dir", "/remote/dir")
