As you have access to ssh, just copy your file replacing the server's index.html file scp <localfile.html> <remoteuser>@<remoteserver>:<remote-path>/index.html for example:

scp 20170108.html webuser@myserver.com:/var/www/index.html


You can place that in a shell script take a file as the first parameter, for example script.sh:

#!/bin/bash
scp webuser@myserver.com:/var/www/index.html


Then you can make a script to take file with the current day as the first parameter to the server

$ ./script.sh `date +%Y%m%d`.html


would execute

$ scp 20170108.html webuser@myserver.com:/var/www/index.html


Putting that in a cronjob should be trivial.


You can use Tramp mode to copy the files from Emacs itself.
