Welcome to the forum,

You UPLOAD FROM the PLC to your PC and DOWNLOAD TO the PLC from your PC,

Generally I like to think that you DOWNLOAD to a subserviant unit - ie - you download from the internet (the internet being the greater power and your PC being the subserviant unit), whereas you upload from the PLC because the PLC is the subserviant unit and your PC is the greater power.

Hope this helps,

Steve
