If you really want to store them in the database your options are a
bytea field (warning: size limits) or a large object. See the manual.
Do you really need ACID-compliant access to your files? Have you
considered storing just the paths to the files in the database, and the
files themselves externally to the database in the file system? This is
MUCH more efficient if you don't need the facilities the database requires.
There has been lots of discussion of this in the past on this list, so
consider searching the mailing list archives and Google.
