How to upload a file from the front end (view) in an iphone app?

Question

Hi,

In my iphone app, It is a requirement that I enable the user to upload the database file (.sql) from the front end of the app or through iTunes and the app should display the data based on the file he/she uploaded.

How should I go ahead with implementation?

Please give your suggestions.

Please Help.

Thanks!!

You can use NSURLConnection to FTP or HTTP POST the file. There is some server side programming required of course.

There are some answers in stackoverflow explaining the iphone upload like this:
