This really depends on what Tech stack you are utilizing below is one example from a raw C# HTTP standpoint.

The one gotcha I find with files is to make sure that File Upload preferences include the file type you are trying to upload.

In C# Typically I will Open a FileStream via something Like

fileStream = IO.File.OpenRead(Path+fileName);

then set this to the content of my request

request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Put,url)

request.Content = new StreamContent(fileStream);

then send the request and await the result message

response = requestMessage.SendAsync(request).Result;
