File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information such as computer programs, multimedia files (audio, image or video), documents or electronic books. It may be implemented through a variety of ways. Uploading and downloading are the parts of online file sharing. Why do we share files online? Sometimes we need to send images, movies, songs etc. But it is not possible to send large amount of files by e-mail. So we can share these files by online file sharing websites and send the link to friends so that they can download those files easily. Suppose you are busy with important work and at that time you need to take your documents with you but you don’t have any pen drive. Then you can share the documents online and further you can download it from anywhere. What is Uploading? Uploading (may be referred as UL or ul in internet terms) means to send data from a local system to a remote system such as server or another client with the internet that the remote system should store a copy of the data being processed or the initiation of such a process. In general, uploading is the process of copying any file from a computer to online. What is Downloading? In computer networks to download (may be referred as DL or dl in internet terms) means to receive data from a remote system to a local system or to initiate such a data transfer. In general, downloading is the process of copying any file from online to computer. Here is some file sharing websites: 1. ziddu 2. mediafire 3. rapidshare 4. megaupload Thank You S M Rafiqul Islam
