Hack Paul and do data transfer (6)

I believe the answer is:

upload

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'data transfer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'hack paul and do' is the wordplay.
'hack' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'hacking' mean this).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'paul' after 'do' is 'dopaul'.
'dopaul' is an anagram of 'UPLOAD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for upload that I've seen before include "Transfer (data) to a large computer" , "Transfer data to a larger computer" , "Stuff transferred" , "post on YouTube?" , "Transfer a file from one computer to another" .)
