Convert file path to file url[NSUrl]

Question

I'm try to file upload operation using AFNetworking multi-part form data. I'm getting following error. I could find out what is error.

[NSURL URLWithString:filePath] Also used [[NSURL URLWithString:filePath] filePathURL], But doesn't help me. When I log filepath string: It shows correct path : /var/mobile/Applications/3CBF5127-B2FF-49C3-AC98-16BD0886EEE7/Documents/20140326105108_slno.ma4

Error: @"NSLocalizedFailureReason" : @"Expected URL to be a file URL"

Questions: How to convert this path string to file url?

Take a look at the docs for `NSURL`. – rmaddy Mar 26 '14 at 05:35 — rmaddy, Mar 26 '14 at 05:35

You want to use this method instead:

+ (id)fileURLWithPath:(NSString *)path

Try in this way.

 NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:filePath];

    //OR ... Use `

 +[NSURL fileURLWithPath:]

OR take a look at NSURL Class Reference

Hope it helps you.
