How to upload documents( like word, excel, pdf etc) into r/3 system

Question

Hi All,
           Does anyone have information on uploading and downloading documents like word, excel,pdf etc into R/3 system. Is there any function modules, classes, programs etc to do this.
    To give an example about what i mean by uploading documents, we can take the process of attaching documents in support of a SLM issue in solution manager.

Hi Syed,
  Use the FM gui_upload to upload a file from presentation server and gui_download to download file to presentation server. see the code below and also read the documentation of the respective FM's.
data:
    lw_file  type string,              " File Path
    lw_file1 type IBIPPARMS-PATH.      " File Path
  CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
   IMPORTING
     FILE_NAME            = lw_file1.
  lw_file = lw_file1.
  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename                      = lw_file
      FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
      HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR           = 'X'
    tables
      data_tab                      = t_kna1
   EXCEPTIONS
     FILE_OPEN_ERROR               = 1
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
          WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.                               " IF SY-SUBRC <> 0
data:
    lw_file  type string,              " File Path
    lw_file1 type IBIPPARMS-PATH.      " File Path
  CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
   IMPORTING
     FILE_NAME            = lw_file1.
  lw_file = lw_file1.
  CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
    EXPORTING
*     BIN_FILESIZE                  =
      FILENAME                      = lw_file
      FILETYPE                      = 'ASC'
*     APPEND                        = ' '
      WRITE_FIELD_SEPARATOR         = 'X'
*     HEADER                        = '00'
    TABLES
      DATA_TAB                      = t_KNA1
  IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
          WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
  ENDIF.                               " IF SY-SUBRC <> 0
  IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    message 'file downloaded successfully' type 'S'.
  ENDIF.                               " IF SY-SUBRC = 0
With luck,
