DOWNLOADING & UPLOADING

Uploading means data is being sent from your computer to the Internet.

Examples of uploading include sending email, posting photos on a

social media site and using your webcam. Even clicking on a link on a

web page sends a tiny data upload. Downloading means your computer

is receiving data from the Internet.

PROCESS OF UPLOADING

Uploading is the process of moving

digital files such as photographs or
documents from your computer and

placing them on to a central server so
that someone else can retrieve them

or to a website so others can see

them.

PROCESS OF DOWNLOADING

Downloading is the transmission of a file from one computer system to

another, usually smaller computer system. From the Internet user's point-

of-view, to download a file is to request it from another computer (or

from a Web page on another computer) and to receive it.
