Thank you.
In case you are using the 2007 version (WSS 3.0), you can find a great summary of different ways to upload files on this link: http://vspug.com/smc750/2009/05/19/uploading-content-into-sharepoint-let-me-count-the-ways/
You must be very careful if your farm is 32bit, in that case it is very easy to use up all the available memory in the w3wp.exe process if you’re uploading large files or many files in parallel, especially if the farm is a busy one. In that case you might want to use the RPC interface described in the link above, since this is the only one where you can upload files in chunks. With all other ways the entire file being uploaded must first be loaded in the w3wp’s memory before it’s committed to the SharePoint list item.
For ways that involve SharePoint object model, you might want to write your own web service facade to enable the clients that do not have SharePoint dlls to upload files (+ metadata if you need it).
