Uploading file to server using ASIFormDataRequest

-(void)uploadFile{
        NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: photoUploadURLString];

        ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];

        [request setUseKeychainPersistence:YES];
        //if you have your site secured by .htaccess

        //[request setUsername:@"login"];
        //[request setPassword:@"password"];


        NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"ipodfile%@.jpg",self.fileID];
        [request addPostValue:fileName forKey:@"name"];

        // Upload an image
        NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation([UIImage imageName:fileName])
        [request setData:imageData withFileName:fileName andContentType:@"image/jpeg" forKey:@"userfile"];

        [request setDelegate:self];
        [request setDidFinishSelector:@selector(uploadRequestFinished:)];
        [request setDidFailSelector:@selector(uploadRequestFailed:)];

        [request startAsynchronous];
}

- (void)uploadRequestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request{    
    NSString *responseString = [request responseString];
        NSLog("Upload response %@", responseString);
}

- (void)uploadRequestFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request{

        NSLog(@" Error - Statistics file upload failed: \"%@\"",[[request error] localizedDescription]); 
}
