Yes it's possible. However, before you go any further, what is between your local hard drive and the server on which MERGE.cgi resides. There are security issues here:

1. Your password will be stored in plain text on the server.

2. Your password will be transmitted via plain text for all to see.

Consider using scp or sftp that comes with the ssh package. Or consider having the server email you the file. Perhaps using mpack.
