uploaders

Those who transmit

Uploaders are people or software that transfer files from a local device to a remote server or network.

The term appears frequently in discussions of file-sharing, video platforms, and cloud storage: The uploader didn't include subtitles.

On platforms like YouTube, the uploader is whoever posted the content.

In software contexts, an uploader may be a tool or script that handles file transfers automatically.
