This is how i was able to upload file

Step 1 : Read file as bytes array 

bytes = new FileSystemResource((filePath)).getInputStream()
                    .readAllBytes();

Step 2 : pass the byte array to bodyValue method 

webClient.post()
         .uri("Some-uri)
         .contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_OCTET_STREAM)
         .bodyValue(bytes)
         .retrieve()
         .toBodilessEntity())
