FTP question

Is there a way to use a ftp client to transfer files between servers without having to download them to your computer then re-uploading them? I can open both servers in the cyberduck ftp client I found online, but when I try to drag and drop nothing happens. The servers open in different windows, so there's no way to tell it to do it in the options (at least that I can find).

Thanks!

Nvm, I figured out how to do it in Core ftp lite.

I have to switch between programs depending on what OS I'm working with.

EDIT: While I figured out how it is supposed to work, it's not working. It won't transfer any of the files.

Unless you have a particular "listener" available on both servers, you won't be able to do it. I take it you are not the admin of either server, otherwise you could just do a standard FTP transfer launched from either.

The easiest way to do it is just going to be using your machine as an intermediate. Download from Server 1 to your machine, then upload from your machine to Server 2.

If the 2 servers support FXP, you can do it. Read the article I linked to.

Yes, this FXP protocol is the "listener" I was referring to.
