You can't deploy farm-level solutions using solutions gallery (it works only for sandbox solutions). However, as you noticed, your workflow could be only farm-level.
So, for adding it you should run PowerShell on remote server and run Add-SPSolution command (cmdlet) in it:
Add-SPSolution “C:\Deploy\MySharePointSolution.wsp“
After that you can open SharePoint Central Administration/System settings/Manage farm solutions and you will be able to install your solution and after that you could activate it in Central Administration/System settings/Manage farm features.
If you have further questions, try to google "Add-SPSolution" or ask us questions you have.
PS: If you start google this issue you will see that also you can use stsadm; however, this approach is depreceted and using PowerShell is the recommended way.
PPS: Don't forget to mark as answer/upvote if it helps you :-)
