how can i upload files other than images and retrieve them?
Well, how would you do it with images?
It's exactly the same as with images, you just need different verification techniques.

Well, it all depends on the code you're using to upload your images. (i.e. can you post it here?).
If it's image-specific, you'll have things such as checking the MIME type or extention, maybe further verification to make sure it's an image.
For other files, you'll want verification about those types, or maybe no verification at all.

You should validate the file's MIME type instead of taking the browser's word for it. These PHP functions and extensions are made for that purpose:
mime_content_type
fileinfo
