Download http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/. This works like a charm and is a good wrapper and handles things nicely. The make the request this way to the asp.net code listed below.

Create a asp.net webpage that has a file control.

IPHONE CODE:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://YourWebSite/Upload.aspx"];

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
//These two must be added.  ASP.NET Looks for them, if 
//they are not there in the request, the file will not upload   
[request setPostValue:@"" forKey:@"__VIEWSTATE"];
[request setPostValue:@"" forKey:@"__EVENTVALIDATION"]; 

[request setFile:@"PATH_TO_Local_File_on_Iphone/file/jpg" forKey:@"fu"];
[request startSynchronous];

This is the website code

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Upload.aspx.vb" Inherits="Upload" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    </div>
    <asp:Button ID="Submit" runat="server" Text="Submit" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>
