Upload a file with PUT/POST method on POSTMAN

Question

I am trying to upload a file with POSTMAN to this URL

http://localhost:3000/bucket/test/files/

And should got result in my controller there :

    put(request, response, args) {
    //HERE IN THE REQUEST.BODY 
    console.log(request.body)

    let fileManager = request.modules.VMFile;
    let mimeTypes = ['image/jpeg', 'image/png', 'image/gif', 'image/x-icon', '  video/mpeg', 'text/html', 'video/x-msvideo', 'application/msword', 'application/pdf', 'application/vnd.ms-powerpoint', 'application/x-rar-compressed'];
    let maxFileSize = 4 * 1024 * 1024;

    fileManager.initUpload(mimeTypes, maxFileSize);

    fileManager.receive((files) => {

        fileManager.forEachFileContent(files, (file, content) => {

            minioClient.putObject(request.body.bucket, request.body.name, content, file.size, file.mimetype, function (err, etag) {
                response.setData("File uploaded").apply();
                return console.log(err, etag)
            })

        });
        fileManager.clearFilesFromTmp(files);
    });
}

In POSTMAN I got this :

With nothing on headers but I could only PUT (or POST, I tried to change my route with POST but same issue) the name and bucket field... I got nothing on my files field...

You might be doing it right but sometimes POSTMAN does not work well. I wrote an API to accept both text and file.
While invoking service from Postman.

1. I set Content-Type as "application/json" and Accept as "application/json".
2. In body I pass the text and file It was not working, I tried multiple times. I shut down postman and my laptop.

Woke up the next morning hit again and it worked. Below is the image of the working request.

These words are output when I try to upload an image from form-data. What is the reason, where do I adjust:
This file isn't in your working directory. Teammates you share this request with won't be able to use this file. To make collaboration easier you can setup your working directory in Settings.

Not all of David's answer worked for me when using express-fileupload. In short, I don't require the Content-Type header when using express-fileupload.

Note, these steps are for npm / express-fileupload / Postman

1. Ensure the header Content-Type is disabled. Setting this forces req.files to be undefined.
2. As per Davids answer, use form-data and set the key to whatever you require, and upload the file.
3. If you console.log(req.files.YOUR_KEY) in your express app, you should have an object with the uploaded file, in my case req.files.file.

Here's what postman should look like (once again, disable the Content-Type header):

Here's the output within the console when using console.log(req.files):
