You might consider first taking and saving the picture, and then do the transfer.

So this:

And then sending the picture:

Arduino WiFi Shield and Web Server Tutorial - Orange County Web Developer

I have allready used the wifi shield but man sending pictures can get really complicated, so I don't think I can help much here.

Hope those 2 tutorials will help. Anyway good luck.

I would first setup the Arduino to capture the picture and save with a name appending date/time as a par on a sd card. With a web server code on the Arduino, The other machine could use html to look at the list of photos and select the latest date/time and download. Reason is the Arduino would not wait for the other computer and several other machines could download . One thing to remember is to clean/delete old pictures say once per day or more often if the pictures are captured more frequently. If you give more information, this could help design better. Good luck and hope this helps.
