We can use http:///_vti_bin/Copy.asmx Web service to upload files to a SharePoint document library or a picture library from another list. Here we use "GetItem" method to download files from the source list and "CopyIntoItems" method to upload files to the destination list. But there is a limitation that you can't copy between locations that are not on the same Web Application directly.
Following is a workaround for that limitation using two references to the source and destination sites. In this way it is possible to post an image from a SharePoint server located in one domain to another SharePoint server located in a separate domain.
In here “IntranetBlogCopyService” is a Web Reference to the http://moss2010/sites/IntranetBlog/_vti_bin/Copy.asmx service and “InternetBlogCopyService” is a a Web Reference to the ‘http://prasadmoss.domainx.local/sites/InternetBlog/_vti_bin/Copy.asmx” service.
