Answer

Yes, assuming you have "administrative access" to the local TWiki, then you can do any of a variety of things like zipping all the backup files into one, uploading them, and then unzipping them to the proper locations.

I just (attempted to) answer(ed) another one of your questions — you might find some clues there as well (like what directories they need to be unzipped to.

Archive the files (zip or tar); upload to the server (ftp, scp or TWiki attach); unpack the files (e.g. unzip) if needed.

In case the backup is TWiki data: Take care of the file permissions (need to be writable by the cgi user) and fix the rcs lock user if needed (see TWikiInstallationGuide)

TWiki has now an easy point & click solution to upgrade TWiki with the help of the BackupRestorePlugin.
