Problem with that: It is impossible to transfer a file. The best you can do is copy it and delete the original.

So how do you upload a human brain and be sure that's you and not a copy.

The idea is there is no difference, if its a copy they are both validly you. Or to put it another way there is nothing to transfer beyond the data.

How does my conciousness "jump" to the copy?
