Uploading is the act of sending a file FROM your computer to someplace else, usually the internet or another computer. Downloading is bringing a file TO your computer from another source.
Which you are performing depends on whether you are sending or receiving the file.

When you are uploading something, you are moving it FROM your computer to another medium (like the internet). When you are downloading, you are moving it from the intenet (for example) to your computer. The thing that determines which one you are doing is whether the object you are transferring is coming or going.
