I have written following code in c# //FileName 1: File from Computer //FileName 2:File to be named on amazon cloud.

   if (AccessCode == null)
        {
            return ;
        }
        WebRequest request =                 WebRequest.Create(EndPointUrl+"//+&suppress=deduplication'");
        request.Method = "POST";
        string code = "Bearer " + AccessCode;
        request.Headers.Add("Authorization", code);
        string postData =@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""metadata""   {""name"":"""+FileName1+@""",""kind"":""+FILE""}
        Content-Disposition: form-data; name=""content"";
        filename="""+FileName2+@"""
        Content-Type: video/wmv";
        byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
        request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
        request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
        Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
        dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
        dataStream.Close();
        WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
        Console.WriteLine(((HttpWebResponse)response).StatusDescription);
        dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
        string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
        Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer);
        reader.Close();
        dataStream.Close();
        response.Close();

The problem is i can't translate it correctly. it is giving 404 error.

{"message":"Resource does not exist."}

Kindly help me to understand it.

its a normal multipart/form-data POST request with first parameter value is Stringified JSON object and second one is a image file.

Please have a look at : Upload files with HTTPWebrequest (multipart/form-data)

then you can

NameValueCollection nvc = new NameValueCollection();
nvc.Add("metadata", "{\"name\":\"fooo.jpg\",\"kind\":\"FILE\"}");
HttpUploadFile("THE_URL_HERE", @"C:\test\fooo.jpg", "content", "image/jpeg", nvc);
