In order to make a file appear in a course, you would need to create an instance of the 'mod_resource' activity in the course and then attach the relevant file to that resource.

I don't believe there is currently any webservice for creating activities within a course (https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-40779 appears to still be incomplete).

The best you can do at the moment would be to create a custom Moodle plugin (probably a local plugin) and then implement your own webservice in order to add this functionality.
