Please read the source... Zope/lib/python/ZPublisher/HTTPRequest.py 
defines the FileUpload-Class:

class FileUpload:
     '''\
     File upload objects

     File upload objects are used to represent file-uploaded data.

     File upload objects can be used just like files.

     In addition, they have a 'headers' attribute that is a dictionary
     containing the file-upload headers, and a 'filename' attribute
     containing the name of the uploaded file.
     '''

It's all there you need...
