You need to add an ImageField to your content type. This was a seperate module in Drupal 6 but moved into core in Drupal 7. There are some import scripts linked on the module page, but the API probably changed in Drupal 7.

You can also check out the Migrate module that provides a framework for importing into Drupal.

HI. After reading the documentation for 10 hours i finaly did it...i am including my code here

$uri = 'bird/bird_image.jpg';
$files =  new stdClass();
$files->uid = (isset($local_user->uid) && !empty($local_user->uid)?$local_user->uid:1);
$files->filename = 'bird.jpg';
$files->uri = $uri; 
$files->filemime = file_get_mimetype($uri);
$files->status = 1;
$files->timestamp = $new_node['timestamp'];

file_copy($files);

thats how one can upload file and to the drupal 7 database
