/uhp'lohd/ v. 1. [techspeak] To transfer programs or data over a digital communications link from a smaller or peripheral `client' system to a larger or central `host' one. A transfer in the other direction is, of course, called a download (but see the note about ground-to-space comm under that entry). 2. [jargon] To send data (especially large relatively standalone pieces of data like files and images) over the wire to a remote location. 3. [speculatively] To move the essential patterns and algorithms that make up one's mind from one's brain into a computer. Those who are convinced that such patterns and algorithms capture the complete essence of the self view this prospect with pleasant anticipation.

Upload
If downloading is receiving a file from another computer, uploading is the exact opposite. It is sending a file from your computer to another one. Pretty straight forward. It is possible to both upload and download at the same time, but it may cause slower transfer speeds if you have a low bandwidth connection. Because most files are located on huge ftp servers, people generally do a lot more downloading than uploading.
