Any decent version of Kermit (the terminal program, not the protocol
will allow you to batch uploads. You put a batch of files in a folder
and then tell it to send everything in the folder.

This is probably a better idea than concatenating the files, because it
saves you from splitting them on the UNIX side of things.
