Raise burden put on server (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

upload

'put on server' is the definition.

'raise burden' is the wordplay.
'raise' becomes 'up' (I've seen this in other clues).
'burden' becomes 'load' ('load' can be a synonym of 'burden').
'up'+'load'='UPLOAD'

(Other definitions for upload that I've seen before include "post on YouTube?" , "Transfer a file from one computer to another" , "Transfer 1 Down" , "Stuff transferred" , "Transfer a file from a smaller to a large computer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
