No, you have not missed anything. There is no functionality for
importing files directly from the server. Although it would be possible
to implement this as a plug-in or as an "External file extension" (but
this require at least BASE 3.0). In any case, I can imagine all sorts of
security/permission-related issues with this.

I think this would work very well. And if you only need the FTP support
locally then there is no need to open up firewalls, etc. which is always
a hassle with FTP.
