Yes, a simple script written for commons by Erik Möller can probably be
adapted for your use:

Thanks for the tip, but I believe this requires the client to have
perl installed on their computer. I was probably confusing by
refering to "files." I'm really just worried about making it to
upload one file and link to it.
Believe it or not, the current method has a high enough barrier to
entry that few of my potential users will bother with it. Basically,
I'm looking for a point and click (no typing or cut and pasting
filenames) way to do this. I don't need them to upload lots of file.
Just one.
I do find it hard to believe that the current method is difficult. It's as
point and click as you can get. If your users find this hard, man wait till
you tell them what a wiki is.
