In some of the apps, I have seen its possible to upload files to the library of a certain application. They ask to type "http://192.xxx.xxx.xxx" and then to upload files to that location which inturn becomes available for download in iphone when we use the same URL.
Do anyone have an idea how to do it OR where to look for to gain info about this?
create a HTTP server app on iPhone, so the upload file also can be implemented in the app

Its not possible to Monitor(Browse) the Files in IOS. Apple does not Approve this type of applications. And also iPhone/iPad we can't access the Other Application Data's. As per your point The PDF must be located in Other iOS Application. We can't Browse the Files Except Bundles and Documents folder.
Only way you can Upload file to Server and Make browser list Using Tableview.
The following are the possible ways to do this.

I am developing an application whereby i want to upload an arbitrary file to the server using my application. However, it primarily appears that iOS does not expose the file system to the application.
Is there any way to accomplish this task ? (Please remember here that I do not know the name of file). It is a kind of browse for files - select a file - upload it.
If it is possible in iOS, is there any open source component/library available to facilitate this task ?
There is no file system to access on iOS, unless you are contemplating a jail broken App, other than the files you create as part of your App. You would not normally let a User browse your App's files but it you did you'd implement a App-specific approach to the browsing.
In iOS for iPhone -iPad app do we have a facility to pick/import/copy documents or files directly from photo library or Dropbox or GoogleDrive or any other similar kind of app in to our native application?
Or using some url-scheme can we directly upload it to server by just giving the path?
This kind of functionality is being provided by Google's Android OS. Do we have similar to that in iOS? Or how can we implement that?

I'm creating a website which I would like to be supported on the iphone as well. The site allows users to upload images and manipulate them. On a desktop the user will simply click the upload button to select the file from their computer and upload it to the site. But this will fail on an iphone.
Is there any way for a pure web app which is using php/mysql/js and runs inside the browser to get images from a user's camera roll? Does Apple offer any APIs to make this possible?
No, it's not possible currently - but apparently iOS 6 is going to support image and video uploads from MobileSafari.
(Apart from that, you can ask your users if their device is jailbroken and id so, suggest them downloading Safari Upload Enabler from Cydia).
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.
