Teacher, I have heard both sentences. Which one is correct? upload or download?

or
Can you upload the ABC file to my laptop?
NOT A TEACHER
It depends on what you want to say.
download - move sth from the Internet into a computer's memory
upload - usually move sth from a computer's memory to the Internet
In your case, I would choose download.
It all depends on your perspective. Just be consistent and define your terms. Normally you upload to a larger or more powerful or "master" system. You download to the smaller device.
If you were talking about transferring a file from your company network or the internet to your own PC, then I would consider it downloading.
If you were talking about transferring a file from your mp3 player or memory stick to your PC, I would call it uploading.
