upload file moveTo not copying a file

public function profilePictureAction()
{
    // Check if the user has uploaded files
    if ($this->request->hasFiles()) {

        // Print the real file names and sizes
        foreach ($this->request->getUploadedFiles() as $file) {

            // Print file details
            echo $file->getName(), " ", $file->getSize(), "\n";

            // Move the file into the application
            $file->moveTo('files/' . $file->getName());

        }
    }
}

this is my code I upload file using postman with form type: form-data and with image png. In my app directory I already create directory named files after projectname and in one directory with app, public folder. Why this happen? I expecting file copied after I send image data.

Do you have some errors, somewhere? This issue is due to bad permissions 99%.

I looked for this issue for a while aswell, so for anyone searching for this problem and that doesnt have read write execute issues, ifound the answer here: https://forum.phalcon.io/discussion/1947/phalcon-don-t-recognize-html5-multiple-file-upload

For me it was the missing enctype in the form

{{ form('post/add', 'method': 'post', 'enctype': "multipart/form-data",'class':'form-post') }}
