Sideload
Remote upload
* 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 MyRemoteHost.
* None of the hosts are located on the user's the local network.
When applied to local transfers (sending data from one local system to another local system), it is often difficult to decide if it is an upload or download, as both source and destination are in the local control of the user. Technically if the user uses the receiving device to initiate the transfer then it would be a download and if they used the sending device to initiate it would be an upload. However, as most non-technical users tend to use the term download to refer to any data transfer, the term "sideload" is sometimes being used to cover all local to local transfers to end this confusion.
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 Hosting services.
Remote uploading is also used in situations where the computers that need to share data are located on a distant high speed local area network, and the remote control is being performed using a comparatively slow dialup modem connection.

Without remote uploading functionality, the user would be required to download the file first to their local host and then re-upload it to the remote file hosting server.
Where the connection to the remote computers is via a dialup connection, the transfer time required to download locally and then re-upload could increase from seconds, to hours or days.
