You can use the asset library helper for that

Loader::helper('concrete/asset_library');

this line add in my single page

<?php $al = Loader::helper('concrete/asset_library'); ?>
<?php echo $al->file('testFileAttach')?>

In the case you do not want to use the files manager for uploading, you probably have to deal directly with Loader::library('file/importer');

An example of "manual" file import with the $form->file widget and the file importer library :

My front end file uploader addon may help with part of your problem. Its very convenient for uploading files into sets or into a specified fileID.

So once you had the display for a file set or file id sorted out, you could use front end file uploader to populate or add to a set or replace a file (but not remove files - you still need the file manager for that)
