If you know they key of the file upload you can make it a bit simpler I think (this is not tested):

infile, header, err := r.FormFile("file")
if err != nil {
    http.Error(w, "Error parsing uploaded file: "+err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
    return
}

// THIS IS VERY INSECURE! DO NOT DO THIS!
outfile, err := os.Create("./uploaded/" + header.Filename)
if err != nil {
    http.Error(w, "Error saving file: "+err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
    return
}

_, err = io.Copy(outfile, infile)
if err != nil {
    http.Error(w, "Error saving file: "+err.Error(), http.StatusBadRequest)
    return
}

fmt.Fprintln(w, "Ok")
