There is an upload controller in the ext.controller package, as well as a 
quick upload demo thanks to Jan Moons available on the Expresso docs page 
that should get you started.  If you need auto-detection of the file type, 
there's a new feature in the MimeTypes table that allows auto-detection a 
la JAF, but it is much more thorough than default JAF implementation.

HTH!
