Can Canon 7D EOS transfer files wirelessly? if yes, how?

No, not by itself. At the moment only the 70d and 6D can do that.
However, thre are add-ons that can achieve similar results such as an EyeFi card, or a wireless tether like this:

Actually the best way is with a Canon WFT-E5/E5A. This fits onto the camera, instead of the BG-E7 battery grip. It has vertical controls, same as the grip.
All of Canon's more professional oriented cameras use one or another of the WFT modules. They aren't cheap, but have much greater range and faster file transfer rate than the cameras with built in WiFi, or the EyeFi cards do. The WFT has a range of approx. 300 or 400 feet. That's approx. 10X the distance of the built-in WiFi. I don't know the exact capability of the EyeFi cards... it's probably even less.
The WFT can be used to control the camera remotely or to link one or more cameras together with a master camera, too.

Sure, if you're ok with a $700 price tag. At that cost you could sell the 7D and just get a 70D, and have some cash left over.
