You cannot. An ability for the script to upload an arbitrary file
without user's knowledge or consent would be a huge security hole, and
thus prohibited.

See KB Article KB167658 "HOWTO: Automate Internet Explorer to POST Form
Data". You will have to read the file yourself and manually build the
POST data in the correct format.
