"All" you have to do is send them a binhex of whatever you want to upload
through email.  You should also include a somewhat detailed summary (about
a screenful seems good to me) before the familiar line (which I can't remember
right now...) that starts the binhex file.  I think their email address is
info-mac@sumex-aim.stanford.edu, but you should ftp there and read everything
in the /info-mac/help directory to be sure.  Unfortunately, it takes them a very
long time to get around to posting it, almost 2 months!  

The only other mac ftp site worth mentioning is rascal.ics.utexas.edu.  They
are usually as current (if not more) than sumex-aim these days, plus if you
send them binhex'ed uploads it doesn't take as long, about 2 weeks.
