Remote upload When there is a transfer of data from a remote system to another remote system, the process is called

"remote uploading". This is used by some online file hosti ng services. Remote uploading is also used in situations where the computers tha t need to share data are located on a distant high-speed LAN, and the remote con trol is being performed using a comparatively slow dial-up modem connection. For example: The user remotely accesses a file hosting service at MyRemoteHost. The user finds a public file at PublicRemoteHost and wants to keep a copy in their MyRemoteHost. To have it done they "remote upload" the file from PublicRemoteHost to MyRem oteHost. None of the hosts are located on the user's local network. Without remote uploading functionality, the user would be required to download t he file first to their local host and then upload it to the remote file hosting server. Where the connection to the remote computers is via a dial-up connection, the tr ansfer time required to download locally and then upload again could increase fr om seconds to hours or days.
