An upload is a posting on a website, adding your file to the internet. A download is to take that information from the internet, and save it on your own computer. Think of the internet as a giant clothesline. When you upload, you put a piece of clothing on the clothesline, and it is available for others to take. When the other people take [a copy] of this clothing, they are downloading it, and obtaining a copy for their own personal use.

Upload is when a file is sent from your computer(like a word document, pictures and etc) to a website/internet and download is when a file from the internet is sent to your computer.

upload is giving, download is taking.
You can upload stuff onto a server if you have permission, or on free web hosting sites.
