Uploading and downloading are related terms used to describe the transfer of electronic data between two computers or similar systems. More colloquially, they are sometimes applied to transfers to/from removable media such as CDs.

Download

To download is to receive data from a remote or central system, such as a webserver, FTP server, mail server, or other similar systems. A download is any file that is offered for downloading or that has been downloaded. The word's primary usage comes in the form of a verb.[citation needed]

Increasingly, websites that offer streaming media or media displayed in-browser, such as YouTube, and which place restrictions on the ability of users to save these materials to their computers after they have been received, say that downloading is not permitted.[1] That is, "download" is used to mean "receive and save" instead of simply "receive".

Upload

By extension, to upload is to send data from a local system to a remote system, FTP server, or website.

As an example, "Upload a video to YouTube" means sending a video to the website. Or "Upload all pictures from digital camera to the computer"
