This is a client/server setup. Your machine is a client, the server software for that client needs to be available on the remote side:

ftp -> ftpd
scp -> sshd
uuencode + telnet -> telnetd + uudecode
cp/copy -> smbd or other CIFS server
stick drive -> a pair of sneakers and an available USB port
...

If you need to install software on the remote machines and they are windows machines and you have the appropriate authorization on the remote machines, you can push a windows installation package to that machine.

You need to have something on the remote side to talk to. The type of access (permissions + protocol) you have on the remote side will determine how you are able to transfer the files to the remote machine. Some of them can be driven by Perl, others cannot.
