Greeting Emily Fang,

This is what a load file is "A load file is a file used to retrieve specific data sets or images located within legal databases (tables) through specific retrieval (comeback) methods implemented in the load file. A load file can also be used to import the data into another database." (Source: http://www.techopedia.com/definition/24895/load-file)

This is what uploading a file is "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." (Source: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/uploading)
