Thanks Mike! I was trying to avoid using remoting, since I'm not using it anywhere else in my application (yet).
Basically, I have a file upload to upload your picture, and I wanted to have a webcam snapshot option, that posted to the same existing backend piece. Doesn't sound like that is currently easy/possible. I'll look at the FMS solution though, as I am already using that elsewhere.
