Using AFNetworking this is how I do it:

NSMutableDictionary *params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc]init];
    [params setObject:@"myUserName" forKey:@"username"];
    [params setObject:@"1234" forKey:@"password"];
    [[AFHTTPRequestOperationLogger sharedLogger] startLogging];
    NSData *imageData;
    NSString *urlStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.url.com"];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlStr];

    AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
       imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(mediaFile, 0.5);


    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" path:nil parameters:params constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id formData)
    {
              [formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:@"mediaFile" fileName:@"picture.png" mimeType:@"image/png"];
    }];

    AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request

    success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON)
    {

        UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"File was uploaded" message:@""
                                                       delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Close" otherButtonTitles: nil];
        [alert show];
    }
    failure:^(NSURLRequest *request , NSURLResponse *response , NSError *error , id JSON)
    {
        NSLog(@"request: %@",request);
        NSLog(@"Failed: %@",[error localizedDescription]);
    }];


    [operation setUploadProgressBlock:^(NSUInteger bytesWritten, long long totalBytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite)
    {
        NSLog(@"Sent %lld of %lld bytes", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
    }];
    [httpClient enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation];
