Upload means to transfer a file or files from your own computer to another computer. For instance, you might transfer a file from your home PC to the Yahoo! computer that stores your Web Hosting files.

Download means to transfer a file from another computer to your own. You might download a file from your Web Hosting account to your home PC.
