WebElement UploadElement=driver.findElement(By.cssSelector(".btn"));
UploadElement.sendKeys("D:\\Report.pdf");

Thanks.

After doing much R&D i found the solution of this. I used AutoIT tool to upload file from the system if Browse button is placeed on the iFrame.

Directly send the file path to the id, like so

driver.findElement(By.id("button id")).sendKeys("D:\\Report.pdf");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("your xpath")).sendKeys("D:\\Report.pdf");

The above step is the answer for your first two steps

Click on Browse Select a file to upload For the third step(click upload), looking at the screen capture I do not see any button which says "Upload". So just click "Save" and I assume that your file will successfully get uploaded
