Err, the other way around. I meant "you need the remote PC to
initiate the transfer, not the embedded device."
I'm not sure if you understood my problem right. I have an embedded
device FROM which I need to send a file up to our central server.
rsync sounds good been looking into configuring it.
I put rsyncd on my "server" and it looks like:

You do not need rsyncd running on the embedded device, sshd is
enough. Just put a valid public key of an appropriate user on the
little box and use rsync on the server.
I do this every day as a crontab entry in order to copy backup files
on an Asus WL-HDD NAS called stupidlittlebox:
amanda@noname> rsync -av /Backup/amanda --rsh=ssh
stupidlittlebox:/tmp/harddisk/Backup/

nope i think you misunderstood me.

I did not misunderstand you. I just proposed you to initiate the process
from the server which will be simpler and more easy. If this is not an
option and if rsync does not work on the box you will have to use
another protocol like smtp, smp, ftp, or tftp. Be aware that on some of
these boxes almost the entire filesystem is read-only which might
explain part of your difficulties.
