public string SaveFile(HttpPostedFileBase uploadfile, string saveInDirectory="/", List acceptedExtention =null)
{
    acceptedExtention = acceptedExtention ?? new List() {".png", ".Jpeg"};//optional arguments

    var extension = Path.GetExtension(uploadfile.FileName).ToLower();

    if (!acceptedExtention.Contains(extension))
    {
        throw new UserFriendlyException("Unsupported File type");
    }
    var tempPath = GenerateDocumentPath(uploadfile.FileName, saveInDirectory);
    FileHelper.DeleteIfExists(tempPath);
    uploadfile.SaveAs(tempPath);

    var fileName = Path.GetFileName(tempPath);
    return fileName;
}

private string GenerateDocumentPath(string fileName, string saveInDirectory)
{
    System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath($"~/{saveInDirectory}"));
    return Path.Combine(Server.MapPath($"~/{saveInDirectory}"), Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fileName) +"_"+ DateTime.Now.Ticks + Path.GetExtension(fileName));
}

add these functions in your base controller so you can use them in all controllers

checkout how to use it

SaveFile(view.PassportPicture,acceptedExtention:new List() { ".png", ".Jpeg"},saveInDirectory: "content/img/PassportPicture");

and here is a full example

[HttpPost]
public async Task CreateUserThenGenerateToken(CreateUserViewModel view)
{// CreateUserViewModel contain two properties of type HttpPostedFileBase  
    string passportPicture = null, profilePicture = null;
    if (view.PassportPicture != null)
    {
        passportPicture = SaveFile(view.PassportPicture,acceptedExtention:new List() { ".png", ".Jpeg"},saveInDirectory: "content/img/PassportPicture");
    }
    if (view.ProfilePicture != null)
    {
        profilePicture = SaveFile(yourHttpPostedFileBase, acceptedExtention: new List() { ".png", ".Jpeg" }, saveInDirectory: "content/img/ProfilePicture");
    }
    var input = view.MapTo();
    input.PassportPicture = passportPicture;
    input.ProfilePicture = profilePicture;


    var getUserOutput = await _userAppService.CreateUserThenGenerateToken(input);
    return new AbpJsonResult(getUserOutput);
    //return Json(new AjaxResponse() { Result = getUserOutput, Success = true });

}
