When I use the file stream in the HTTP request it doesn't work -- how do I get it to work with Indy HTTP? 

"It doesn't work" doesn't tell me anything.

From the VB code you posted, it looks like the server is expecting the file to be included as the payload of a POST request. That's very easy to do with Indy. You have a TIdHTTP object. Call its Post method, passing it the destination address and a reference to the stream that contains what you want to post to that address.

Data := TFileStream.Create(LocalFile, ...);
try
  ResposeString := HTTP.Post(UploadURL, Data);
finally
  Data.Free;
end;

There are several other overloaded versions of TIdHTTP.Post. Look at the source (in IdHTTP.pas) to find the one that's most suited to your needs. If you want to receive the server's response in another stream, for instance, use the overload that takes a string and two streams as arguments, instead of the one I used above, which only takes one stream.
