Pretty much how you described, but don't use POST array, use Request's methods.
$uploadedFile = $request->file('myfile');
$uploadedFile->move('directory/for/files/', 'filename.ext');
$uploadedFile is an object of Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile class, it has some useful function for getting file name, extension, type.
