How about the COPY command:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/sql-copy.html

Be sure and read to the bottom where it explains that this is a server command and needs to be run on the server and as
thePostgres user.  

An alternative is \copy run from psql, documentation here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/app-psql.html

It runs locally and as the local user.
