To know someone uploaded a file to your server then you need a name or an account name, from there you can trace who upload files.
But if someone uploaded files via a script or a way that your server could not track that then I think it is not possible to find out who uploaded a file to the server.
This question is very interesting and I also wait better answers or a solution for this.

Please provide more details about your hosting set up. Does it have a control panel such as cPanel? Do you have root access to the server?

You can use "inotifywatch" if you want to monitor a directory. ( It generates filesystem access statistics. ) We use this for hack investigation and is a very useful tool.

Mostly there are few main resources people use to upload files, which are
1. FTP
2. via Web
3. File manager
4. SSH/SCP/SFTP
In above cases, it is fairly easy to track the upload details in either of the first 3 cases above but hard to track down in the 4th case. The first step you should take is to identify the file onwer and time stamp of file update. Once you have the details, you can go throguh each of the log files and check for necessary information [ I cannot comment your log file locations as long as there is limited information regarding your server ]. Good luck!

You can find the newly uploaded file under the below path -
If the files are uploaded from FTP then you can check the logs on below location -
Open required FTP log file and search for the contents using grep command.
