Uploading is the transmission of a file from one computer system to another, usually larger computer system. From a network user's point-of-view, to upload a file is to send it to another computer that is set up to receive it. People who share images with others on bulletin board services ( BBS) upload files to the BBS. Transmission in the other direction is downloading-- from one, usually larger computer to another, usually smaller computer. From an Internet user's point-of-view, downloading is receiving a file from another computer. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the Internet facility for downloading and uploading files. (If you are uploading a file to another site, you must usually have permission in advance to access the site and the directory where the file is to be placed.) When you send or receive an attached file with an e-mail note, this is just an attachment, not a download or an upload. However, in practice, many people use "upload" to mean "send" and "download" to mean receive. The term is used loosely in practice and if someone says to you "Download (or upload) such--and-such a file to me" via e-mail, they simply mean "Send it to me." In short, from the ordinary workstation or small computer user's point-of-view, to upload is to send a file and to download is to receive a file.
I have never heard of a computer component called a 'packet' As far as I am aware a packet refers to when your modem sends data to another computer: it breaks the data (Say an email) into smaller pieces called into 'packets'. It then sends these packets to the other computer (The recipient of the email). The other computers modem then reassembles the packets and bingo the email program announces that an email has been received.

Then you have more files on your computer, and less available space.

When transmitting data from one computer to another, the rules are called protocols. A standard network protocol that is used to copy a file from one host to another is called File Transfer Protocol, or FTP.

It's all a matter of perspective. If you are loading something to the computer in front of you from another computer it's called "downloading" If you're loading something FROM the computer in front of you to another computer, it's generally called "Uploading". Another perspective is the SIZE and function of the computer. If you're loading something from a server or large computer to your computer, it's downloading. If you're loading something TO a server or larger computer it's called Uploading.
no, absolutely not. A computer only can be infected by receiving or downloading a file with a keylogger.
Downloading is copying a file from the Web to your computer.

Transferring files
By sending only the link from the source , but not downloading whole of the file.
Import means to bring anything into something else. Goods into the country are called imports. Information into a computer hard drive is called an import. Data from a file into another file is called an import.
A "source file" holds the instructions for a program in text, e.g. computer commands like printf(). When the source file is processed by a computer language compiler object files are created. These will then be linked together by another special computer program called a linker to create an executable program file. Think of the source as being text for humans and the object as being computer files that are generally unreadable.
