see http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-
and-validators#SQLFORM-and-uploads

just send the file in a HTTP POST (multipart encoded) from the client

Code to do it is similar to this...

@request.restful()

def uploader():

   def POST(*args, **kwargs):

        # if the post is correct only first item is needed
        uploaded_file = kwargs[kwargs.keys()[0]]

        # fake table to use readymade code for upload
        db.define_table('media_content_', Field('bdata', 'upload'),
migrate=False)
        filename = db.media_content_.bdata.store(uploaded_file,
uploaded_file.filename)

        return dict(message='uploaded to file: {}'.format(filename))
