If you can upload images, you can upload any file: the file is just a stream of bytes as far as the upload is concerned, so you can use the same code to upload any type of file.
The "type" of the file is only relevant when the file is being opened by an application.

I have converted image to bitmap and den sent it to the server how can i do the same for other files it makes no sense?

OriginalGriff 3-Sep-17 7:42am

Why? Why convert the image at all? And "sending to the server" it's just sent as a stream of bytes, the server doesn't know (or care) about the content, it just needs the byte data and a filename to save it under.
