There's a name for that, it might be called Remote Transfer. The data does
not go through your computer. Very useful for moving big files from one
server to another when you're on a dialup. ;p The client fakes the
connection to each computer so they think they're talking to each other
essentially. I'm sure you could do it with command line utility on Linux,
but I don't know of anything for Win32. Except doesn't WS-FTP support
that? And doesn't it have a scripting tool?
