You can obtain a ByteReadChannel of a file part to read the data from by calling the FileItem.provider. This channel can then be used to copy the bytes to a ByteWriteChannel associated with the file. Here is an example:

post {
    call.receiveMultipart().forEachPart { part ->
        if (part is PartData.FileItem) {
            val fileName = part.originalFileName ?: "unknown"
            val file = File(fileName)
            try {
                part.provider().copyTo(file.writeChannel())
            } finally {
                part.dispose()
            }
        }
    }
}
