You can't...

Consider the security exposure if IE hosted client script could do that.

Usually, you would not use internet explorer at all. If you don't want
to see anything on the screen (batch job), why do you be trying to use
internet explorer in the first place?

Instead consider using FTP, HTTP POST, or HTTP PUT.

Hi,

I fail to see what logging on has to do with it? You said it was going
to be unattended, so what were you going to do? Send the whole user name
and password with SendKeys? How are you going to run this without being
logged in, or are you suggesting leaving the workstation logged in all
night?

You need to find out the protocal (e.g. HTTP), and the authentication
method (e.g. NTLM or BASIC)
