Using FileUpload has the disadvantage that it doesn't do what you
expect in a multimaster configuration (not that many people will run
into that).

Me, I just use scp in a shell script from a build step to upload to a
designated host, and construct a URL to the upload directory.  No need
to use buildbot's tools for everything.
