Uploading
You've probably heard
this term before in several different places, but do you know what exactly
it refers to? You may have seen it in some of our tips here at WorldStart
or maybe you've seen it while working on a Web site. Either way, here's
a quick definition for you!
Uploading mainly deals with
photos, but the term is also used with other files, etc. Basically, uploading
is the transfer of a file from your computer to another system by means
of a modem over telephone or cable lines, depending on your Internet connection
type. You can also upload files from your computer to a server over a
local area network (LAN) or an FTP
server.
Uploading is like
the reverse process of downloading. Instead of bringing the file to your
computer, you're sending it off to another system. You can upload files
to be used on personal Web sites, any profile type sites you may be a
part of (for example, MySpace), etc. As long as you have the file saved
on your computer, you can upload it to be seen by more people than just
you. It's a really easy way to share things with your family and friends
and it's so simple to do.
Make sure you keep
reading below in today's Q&A section to learn some basics on how you
can start uploading your own files too!
