Image won't upload to FTP

Question

So my program is selecting an image from the phone and then I want to upload it to an ftp that I have. I know the FTP connection works and I can succesfully upload a document by going to the file manager. My problem is when I select an image from my phone it detects the address as:

/external/images/media/34

but when I am uploading it the logcat says file doesn't exist:

03-09 16:00:32.702  19649-19678/net.azurewebsites.cosy W/System.err﹕ java.io.FileNotFoundException: /external/images/media/34: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)

It's obvious it's something to do with the filepath. Anybody know how to fix it so it selects the file and picks up a proper address Here is my code for picking the file:

Intent galleryInent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, MediaStore.Images.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(galleryInent, RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE);

super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if(requestCode == RESULT_LOAD_IMAGE && resultCode == RESULT_OK && data !=null)
    {
        selectedImage = data.getData();
        imageToUpload.setImageURI(selectedImage);

    }

and here is where I upload it to the ftp:

if (con.login("cosy\\username", "pass"))
{
    Log.v("connection:","Successful");
    con.enterLocalPassiveMode(); // important!
    con.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
    String data = file;

    FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(data));
    if(type=="image")
    {
        con.changeWorkingDirectory("site/wwwroot/images/");
        result = con.storeFile(BookName + ".jpg", in);
    }
    if(type=="file")
    {
        con.changeWorkingDirectory("site/wwwroot/Books/");
        result = con.storeFile(BookName + ".pdf", in);
    }
    else
    {
        result =false;
    }
    in.close();
    if (result)
        Log.v("upload result", "succeeded");
    con.logout();
    con.disconnect();
}

The path your providing is not absolute that's why the file cannot be found. Try to use getContentResolver as shown in this example keep in mind this is for all types of files. It's very in-depth answer, keep in mind the SDK checks what version the device is running so if you're targeting lower versions make sure you don't forget the code.
