Just add something like this to your controller's add() function.

    // File functions
    if ($this->data['MODELNAME']['FILENAME']) {
        $file = new File($this->data['MODELNAME']['FILENAME']['tmp_name']);
        $ext = $this->data['MODELNAME']['FILENAME']['name'];
        $point = strrpos($ext,'.');
        $ext = substr($ext,$point+1,(strlen($ext)-$point));

        /*if ($ext != 'jpg' && $ext != 'jpeg' && $ext != 'gif' && $ext != 'png') {
            $this->Session->setFlash('You may only upload image files.');
            $this->render();
        } else {*/
        $filename = 'filename.'.$ext;
        $data = $file->read();
        $file->close();
        $file = new File(WWW_ROOT.'/img/'.$filename,true);
        $file->write($data);
        $file->close();
        //}
    }
