I am developing an app to upload multiple files using NSURLSession, right now my files are successfully uploaded. But now what i want to achieve is to pause,resume and cancel the uploads just like we do in download tasks. Is it possible.? Any help would be appreciated. Thnx

I have studied alot but could find nothing .After i tried this on my code assuming this as a download task ,I came to know that we can "pause , resume" upload tasks as well using NSURLSession just we do in downloading tasks.

To pause a task simply call [yourUploadTask suspend]; to resume [yourUploadTask resume]; To cancel [yourUploadTask cancel];

It might help someone working on uploadTask using NSURLSession.
