Upload Data from .net Windows Form Application

Sorry, if this sounds ignorant. Is it possible to SECURELY upload data from a Windows Forms app using an asp.net web service or some other method? If so, what is the general way of doing it?

I have never used web services before.

I have an IIS 6 server with .net 3.5 installed. I need to build this windows forms program, which will hold data in a local sql compact database. When the program has access to the internet, the user needs to be able to MOVE the local data to a database on the web server.

What ways can I go about doing this? Am I on the right track thinking about web services? I have also read a bit about Sync Framework, but I'm not sure if that is all that well suited for this.

Thanks for suggestions.

EDIT

I forgot to ask: Would WCF be a possible useful technology?

Yes. Just secure the web service by SSL.

WCF can be a useful technology too. You might also want to consider SQL Server merge replication.
