How do you normally upload the file? Is it FTP server? Do you have to use some
web interface?

The Socket object should handle these cases (unless you deal with someting
like 'https'), but you would have to do all low level protocol logic in
javascript. As this all has been done and tested years ago I recommend using an
external upload shell script.

I want that after the indesign doc is saved and closed, it should be uploaded to the server. What are the ways that can be approached for uploading and handling the request at the server?

"upload to the server" is a very vague description of what you're trying to achieve. Is it a file server, FTP server, HTTP Server or something else?

it is the http server.

i am able to upload the files through socket using
http://blog.boceto.fr/2011/04/07/indesign-script-upload-de-fichier/
but this code reads the complete file in one go not in chunks, so only the small files are uploaded, larger files are creating problem.
