>>>In English, it is pretty much straight forward, an upload is an upload and a download is a download. In French, there is the word "Téléchargement". But, it can be used in both sides. What would be the proper terminology in French for Upload and Download?

>>I don't see the "upload" and "download" so straight forward in English either. For example, I have a Pocket PC application that works with VFP application. The two programs communicate via XML files send back and forth. But I never know if when sending the XML from PC to Pocket PC I should refer to it as download or upload; and the other way around. I like the answer from Michel Levy; "transfer" with the explicit description of from or to sounds very good in English too.

>But you can always use descargar and subir ;-)
Estoy de acuerdo contigo; descargar (o bajar) y subir es mucho más claro :)
