Thanks, I’ll look into FXP.

I’m not using GD for hosting and this is not a one-time thing. I’m finding I’m 
having to zip up and copy files from one site to another on a more frequent 
basis, so I wanted to be able to do it more directly.

I guess an FTP client that lets me simulate that would be almost as good — with 
two windows that look at two different FTP sites, and I can simply drag-n-drop 
or click to send a file from one to the other, and it handles the DL and UL 
invisibly.

All FTP clients I know of are only between another system and my local machine.
