Can't do it with WS_FTP as far as I know. Even if you 
could, the transfer would still have to route through your 
computer.

Maybe there are other FTP clients that can do it. 
Otherwise, to do what you want, you need to be logged 
on to the first host (via Telnet) and FTP from there to 
the second. If you have shell access to the first host, 
you could use its command line FTP client (most *NIX 
hosts have that, I think Windows servers also have one) 
to transfer the files over.

My opinion, it might be good to go ahead and doa 
download to your own computer, if nothing else, for 
backup purposes.
